Got my custom build 530e M Sport today
530e Bluestone Mettalic, M Sport, Drv Asst Plus, Parking Assist, Lighting Pkg, HK, Heated Steering
65660.00 MSRP -10560.00 (Disc + Rebates) -500 (BMW Drv event, dealer wouldn't give additional $500 from their pocket) 54600 before taxes and fees Added an EasyCare StatedCare extended warranty for $2767.00 for 72mo 85k miles. Appreciate any thoughts on the deal and the extended warranty. I was concerned about the hybrid powertrain and all the additional electronics hence got the warranty for the first time. Usually I will take the car to an indy or work on it myself, after the BMW program ends. Attached is the first image, car had 9miles on the ODO when I picked it.

I predict you will love your "e". My only advice is to forget that it is a hybrid and drive it like you stole it.
I don't know your extended warranty company. I somewhat share your concerns about long term reliability with two engines, etc. My solution was simple: I have GEICO and they automatically added mechanical breakdown insurance to my policy. Just under $10/month. It sits behind my OEM warranty and will cover me up to 7 years or 72,000 miles with a $250 per incident deductible. |

We have similar builds and I also got the extended warranty for the same reason. I was able to talk down the price a bit being I'm a repeat customer with my dealer.
My one month anniversary is coming up and I've been loving the car. Don't forget to file all those rebates you now get with the e, further driving down that price 😊.

I can't speak to the 530E platform, but I was one of the first to pick up a 2013 ActiveHybrid 3 when they came out. One of the best BMWs I have ever owned in terms of rock solid reliability and absolutely no issues with the hybrid powertrain, even though that was Gen1.
Based on that experience and owning it for 5 years, I would not have opted for the extended warranty and hope you never have to use yours! Gorgeous car - congrats and enjoy! PS - Are you aware of the BMW CCA rebate offer? https://www.bmwcca.org/vehicle_rebate |

Thanks, that's an awesome rate. I am planning to return mine, small print says that it doesn't even cover hybrid drive train. Probably will go with Geico

Coverage is just about everything sitting behind the OEM warranty. https://www.geico.com/auto-insurance...own-insurance/ Last edited by SteveinArizona; 01-24-2019 at 09:35 AM.. Reason: additional information |

I'm waiting on delivery of an M550, which seems to be stuck in QC status, but, in answer to your Extended Warranty IMHO and past experiences it's money very well spent. I just sold my '13 F13 because its BMW extended Warranty expired and it had way too many issues, the new one will be covered under GEICO's MBI which is available to Policy holders for a nominal fee.
