I have Easy Care and have had good dealings with them. My opinion has always been that whichever dealer you plan on servicing your car, you should use the third party company they carry because they would already have an established claims process with that company and things will usually go smoother.

Is that for a BMW extended warranty or third party? The BMW one is more expensive. Pricing for either will depend on how much mileage the car has. I paid about $3100 for an additional 3yr/36K miles for my Easy Care warranty right before my car reached 50K miles. You can definitely negotiate these things.

Which company is it and are they doing this for a car that's outside of the original warranty period? You might be able to call that company directly to negotiate a better price.

Is this for the M5 that has 60K miles? I can find the name of the lady at my dealer who sold me the warranty to see if she can give you a better deal.
