My factory warranty on my 2019 Roadster expires in December. Any recommendations for an extended warranty? I understand BMW offers one for the powertrain only. Other companies offer good ones? What is the best price you've found? Thanks.

BMW offers Platinum Electric Warranty for the i8, which as good as the New Car Warranty. You can purchase it directly from your BMW Online Portal. Just go to "My Garage" tab and pick your vehicle, if you have more than one. Once the vehicle page opens click on warranties. Scroll to the bottom of the page and it gives you the pricing for the Platinum Electric warranty.

This made my day, thank you!
(I just had 3 batteries replaced on my i8 and I was worried for when factory warranty expires….)

Thanks for the info as well!
I'll probably be looking for extended warranty as well in a few months, planning on buying out my lease.

Thanks. On my garage page now and don't see the link for extended warranty.

Is there an equivalent in Canada?

Here is the screen I'm getting when I tried to ascertain extended warranty options. Any suggestions?

Extended service contract and extended warranty contracts are different.

Best way to get extended warranty is from a dealer, and some have better prices than others. Christine Newman at Steve Thomas seems to be the best.

Yes BMW explained that 3rd part extended service contracts (what i have) are actually better in some ways. They showed me that under warranty bmw can deny services if they feel something is not a "defect" in the part. Mice chewing a wire. You tuned the engine etc.

A service contract the dealership says this part is bad. New one needed. And in general the service contract doesnt ask questions just replaces the bad part however it was damaged. I mean obviously not if it was malicious.

I forget the brand mine is. But i just pay a $200 deductible its bumper to bumper i have till 5/2024 or 100k miles. Im at like 36k only.

Wow, that sounds pretty good.
Who did you get your 3rd party warranty with, and how much is it?
