Hi All,
I'm trying to understand the necessity of extending the official BMW warranty.

I've only had the car since December last year so I have only been using the (BMW Used Car) warranty to get a few things sorted that they didn't pick up during the pre-delivery check. So far it was a full engine reset, because it would not go above 240kph... it now hits 260 
... and the reset allowed it to learn my driving style. I thought it was the usual BMW Service bullsh*t, but it worked 
I also had the sunroof adjusted for less wind-noise.

My Ride: F11 -14
My dear Lemon Car has been in 7 times, which makes it a little more fault prone than the Alfa 156 I had for three lovely years btw 1998-2001. New high score, in other words. 
Ohh, I miss my E46 330i Touring 2003. Perfect car for 2 years and 91000 kms. Why did I sell that car?!?

I did around 80tkm under two year warranty. Warranty was needed for:
- rear wheel rollerbearing
- self-levelling system's control unit
- automatic opening tailgate
- engine thermostat
All required new parts. I addition progman was updated during the 2. repair.
