Happy Friday everybody ! The factory warranty on my 2022 M550i is expiring on 09/10 and I have started looking into extended warranty options. The vehicle has 31k miles on it and is being driven only 1k to 2k miles a year. Ideally looking for 4 yr to longer term options with the least mileage allowa…

Its crazy how this concept wor…
