This is true but some of the others seem MUCH worse

It saved me a $300 repair bill at the dealership but it's still less than what I payed for the 100k-mile coverage. Still no regrets as I own a first-year 135i and wanted a little extra peace of mind.
No offense to you, and I am glad it has worked out, but I read in Car and Driver that Fidelity is among the worst of them. Again, this only what I have discovered while doing my own research and don't know first hand. Also, you are absolutely right about the peace of mind, especially with any BMW (my wife owns a E90)

I need to look if Farmers has something like this. I know State Farm has/had something like this in the past. I don't think a lot of people realize that their insurance company offer this as an alternative.
