Hi Welcome to the forum,
congrats on your purchase, beast of a car and wishing you many happy kms :=):

WRT aftermarket warranty i suggest to phone around and see what they cover to what you would be comfortable with paying monthly or if you want to dump the sum at once . I used Motorite with my previous car and didnt have any issues with them, switching the policy was just a phone call and everything was done

also post some pictures of your new beast :smilebounce:

Welcome. Please post some pics. Used Innovation group before. Never had a problem. Remember your car needs to be serviced at the dealer or RMI approved workshop. Be sure to read the fine print as there are many exclusions and limitations.

When I purchased my vehicle, I made the mistake of going with a company underwritten by Hollard.
I had an incident with my vehicle where apparently the oil cooler released oil into my water system and caused the whole system to create oil sludge in the water cooling system.

I tried claiming for it, but apparently, because the oil cooler was the cause of the issue, they would therefore not cover the repairs as the oil cooler is part of the exclusions list.

I went through my policy documents where it states the inclusions and exclusions and went through everything just to make sure I'm not missing anything and nowhere in the policy nor in the exclusions list was the oil cooler mention. It was not in the inclusions list either, only those parts that was damaged from the water cooling system was covered.

So basically it was a grey area and they could do and say anything they wanted to.

What I'm getting at is that I've now learnt from that mistake and what I prefer doing now is saving up my money and should anything major happen mechanically then I will just pay cash to have it replaced.

I had the SMG innovation policy for my X1. Unfortunately i never had to claim on the policy for the two years i had the policy.

Welcome nice car! :thumbs:
Rare to see a fellow stock 335i!

Most warranties are not worth the effort, wasted money IMO.
