You’re the second person to tell me that. Coworker had the extended warranty, and it still cost him a lot to get a starter replaced.

A friend leased a 7 series. He custom ordered the car for around 120K.

When the lease ended, he took a loan out on the car with a BMW extended warranty. 2 years into the extended warranty, he passed about 20K in repair costs that was paid by the warranty.

5 years since I first got the car, I bet it's worth less than 20K at best. Looks brand new and the interior is a marvel. He check boxed every option and then some...
