Hi,
does anyone recommend buying a BMW warranty for a 2009 E61 520D?
I've been on the BMW website (https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/) and the quote is £58/month with £250 excess (or 75/month with £100 excess). So this would work out around £700/yr.
Both do not include the £9/month extra for the Emergency Breakdown Cover, as I have cover separately.
I've read some of the horror stories of the N47 2.0 litre diesel engine so I'm a litlte panicked of what could go wrong. As ever, it's usually only the negative stories we read though, and not the "My 120/320/520D has done 200000+ miles...."
The car I will be purchasing this month is a private sale from my boss at work. It's got 57000miles on the clock, and full BMW service history. I know he bought it from BMW Main Dealer <24 months ago and hasn't had any problems with it since owning. And it's been back there recently for Service and new tyres.
The production date of the car was May 2009, so I wondered if this later version of the engine benefitted from any modifications/improvements?
Just looking for some collective guidance.
Your views are always appreciated,
thank you in advance,
Gareth
