    Ah - they have a special BMW algorithm - think of a number over 150, double it, divide by 6 then add £500.

    Simple.

    But you're right there is no apparent logic to it.

    Just bit the bullet with a day to go with the extended warranty. £634 for the fully comprehensive package (no roadside needed) with a £250 excess.

    As we are off to Spain again in January for 6 weeks (3500 mile round trip) I thought it best to get this done.

    What X1 does your Mrs have? I’ve seen a few people quote £403 which makes me think it’s a standardised price for the X1 but I can’t get that price. The closest I get on my 2019 20i M sport is:
    £427 for full comp, £250 excess and breakdown cover, or
    £436 for full comp, £150 excess and no breakdown cover.

    Just had to put it on my car after the three year manufacturer warranty expires on Wednesday. Wouldn’t be without the bmw one. Got roadside and comprehensive cover and I just did it monthly at £91 as couldn’t stomach paying it in full after also having insurance this week

    Thanks for that. Mine is an S drive and with 29,800 miles. Does seem a biggish increase for a 2 wheel drive over a 4 wheel drive, especially with the mileage being half as much.

    I’ll probably just get the £250 excess and no breakdown as I’m only doing around 5000 miles a year now. I think you still get some break down even if you don’t pay for ‘breakdown’.

    I agree. It’s worth it for the piece of mind. Even doing low now £12,000 for a new gearbox is just not worth risking.
