[Biturbos4] Extended Warranty Plans

[Adam Schwartz]

Bob,
I think the price has come up a bit from the time that I got mine, 
which was almost 2 years ago. I am pretty sure I paid just about 
$2000.00. And I have no deductible.  At the time, I paid more so as 
to not have a deductible.

I called them with questions about who was the underwriter, and who 
secure a company they were... And they offered me a little money off. 
I told them I wasnt ready to make a decision yet, as I was still 
researching other companies. About a week latter, I was ready and I 
had already decided on them... They called me and offered another 
deal, slightly better. I really was just trying to do my homework, 
but they kept trying to tempt me a little more.. so they will come 
down a bit. My girlfriend has a 330Xi, and she got a warranty from 
them too.. they came down a little for her as well.

I think they use a different underwriter now. Mine is through 
Travellers Insurance. I felt OK with that...

Good luck.

Adam
