    Default GE Extended Warranties?

    Anyone have hands-on experience with these people? I have a quote for a "Five Star" warranty for 3 years/36K/$100 Deductible per visit, with predictable exclusions like clutch and exhaust, for my 'new' 2001 540i (with 6-speed, 4.4l V-8) with just short of 49K on the clock. The price for the warranty ^W Repair Insurance is $1840. It would kick in in October or at 50K when the factory warranty runs out.

    The car seems to be in outstanding shape, based on the evaluation from my local BMW dealer's service department, but there's always those unknowns that you don't know about until they bite you in the butt.

    I'd have preferred a BMW brand plan, but there's not available for cars that were not handled by the BMW dealer, which mine was not, so I'm sorta stuck with something like GE on nothing.

    I have a friend with an aftermarket warranty on his car and it has more than doubled paying for it. He even tried letting them get out easy on a tranny swap, but they has to do it the long way and ended up paying him twice what he asked for

    GE. That GE. You know, the huge multinational? GE Financial Services. NBC. Light Bulbs. Jet Engines. Locomotives. Deep pockets for the RNC. That GE.

    Before conglomeration, it was simply known as "General Electric"...yes, long ago they used to own NBC. That's where the bell tones came from. How's that for a history lesson. =)
