3rd Party Warranty Yes/No/Best

jdipanni · 10-17-2023, 02:02 PM

Considering to purchase a 2019 i8 Roadster with low mileage. Out of factory warranty and no CPO. Since I cant find one at a BMW dealer nearby or at a reasonable price, Im considering private party or independent dealer purchase. This makes any BMW approved warranty unobtainable. One independent dealer has suggested what appears to be a comprehensive warranty from Integrity, based out Jacksonville FL. Any have experience with 3rd party warranties on an i8? Related topic I'm starting to wonder if I am better off not relying on a BMW dealer for service versus a specialty BMW garage. Thanks! Apologies if I have missed the info in another thread. Please direct me.

I am not convinced its worth it. Apart from the issue with the radiator with older cars there are any major issues

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. The cooling system issue had me really concerned, but I'm only considering a 2019, or 2020 i8 just for that reason. I currently own a 2018 'i3 and I heard a lot about the cooling system on the older i3's as well. I decided against a warranty on the i3. So far at 56,000 miles its been fine.
