128i extended maintenance question

New to this, so please be patient.
I am buying a 2010 128i coupe w/ 10K miles (fleet car). Still has 1 year left on BMW warranty. Thoughts on buying extended third party warranty (Carmax) vs. BMW gold warranty-7yrs/70k miles? I will only drive approx. 10k miles a year.
Thanks for your thoughts and comments

Food for thought; the companies that offer extended warranties are in business because they make a profit. That means that for their average customer, they are taking more money than they pay out.

hit up the sponsors here they should be able to give you sone decent quotes

I considered the same thing after buying a 2010 128i w/18,000 mi. I got on line and inquired about extended maintenance and found very few people happy with their agreements and a lot regretting they spent the money because the companies refused to pay off. I declined the offer to purchase one and am very happy.

Thanks for your reply. I ended up going the CPO route on a different 128, so a third party extended warranty wasn't needed. I would be interested in hearing how well BMW stands behind their CPOs.

Be aware CPO will not cover for all items on vehicle.

I like extended warranties on BMWs. Let them make a profit sometimes, and let them buy me a new engine sometimes. Easy sleeping.

But, for me, no third party stuff.

OEM extended warranty or roll the dice.
