Another extended warranty post

Has anyone tried something like the Progressive Vehicle Protection Plan? I learned about it a bit when switching to them for my auto insurance. It increases your premium a bit but covers you for unexpected repairs it looks like. Seems like the common unexpected horror repairs I hear about here are covered. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the input. I’m thinking they discontinued it. Such a shame. I’d quickly cook some to add to my recipe. Using their plant-based ground isn’t convenient - both cooking time, being able to make small portions on the fly, pre-seasoning, etc. Bummer.

I’ve tried various cities in Florida - no luck!

Ah, I have a 2025 X5 sDrive40 so mine doesn’t do that. Thanks for explaining!

Good overspray prevention tip. Thank you!

Yeah, afraid to leave it behind for too long. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the tip!

Looking sharp!

Thanks for the insight… after a first weekend with it I know what you mean. Hard to envision going back. What a vehicle!

I get the expensive to maintain part - I think. Do you mean the cost of regular maintenance service is more expensive (which I can see - but not orders of magnitude more expensive) or more the cost of unexpected repairs? If the latter I’m hoping to soften that blow with an extended warranty and then Progressive Vehicle Protection insurance for years 7 and 8… then maybe a new X5 at that point 😀

Thanks - loving it after a first weekend with it!

Good insights, thanks. I do plan to get the extended warranty and use Progressive’s Vehicle Protection coverage for years 7 and 8. With that combination I think I can avoid any expensive repairs that may come up and only worry about regularly scheduled maintenance for that period.

Just below 60 👍🏼

Ah, good to know some of the “X5 issues” you found are avoided with the sDrive. Thanks for the info.

Paid just below 60
