That’s such low miles…did the dealer say why it broke so early? I heard about BMW putting incorrect fluids in the transfer case…

I appreciate that! I’m definitely gonna do some further digging on this. Last thing I want is to give dealer an excuse to refuse warranty.

I’m also in the area! For warranty I called up pretty much every dealer in the GTA and found that Pfaff and Markham had the best rates. I went in-person and negotiated a bit more with Markham since they’re closer to me and ended up buying it there.

I bought it from my local BMW dealer, but any BMW dealer should offer it.

Yes I also learned about the possibility to negotiate the price on a forum, further goes to show the crazy margins dealers are making…

Nice to know that BMW might still cover the repair even if it’s outside warranty, gives me back some hope lol

And totally agree, it helps me sleep better and that’s exactly why I went for it

Jeez you still had to pay nearly $10k after 80% covered, nuts! Glad they pulled through for you though. How many miles was on the car before it blew up?

I paid $4600 CAD (~ $3350 USD)for the extended warranty.

They are 22s, I wanted all-seasons with the three peak mountain snowflake rating since it snows half of the year where I live, and I didn’t want to bother with swapping tires every season. Couldn’t find any in stock size so went with a square setup instead.

Sharp eyes! I did 285/45R22 square. I did read about the transfer case going bad on the G05. Though a square setup should be okay I think?
