BMW vehicles are well known for reliability, fantastic engines, and luxury.  The X5 is considered to be an all-rounder in the SUV world as it offers comfort and utility, though, mostly for on road versus off road use. Many in the USA find it to be an ideal car which is partly why the model has gained so much traction in popularity. A new BMW X5 xDrive40i, the most popular trim, goes for around $62,000. But what does it cost to have decent mechanical coverage for your BMW? In this article, we will take a look at the factory warranty cost and options available as well as the BMW X5 extended warranty cost and options.

BMW Factory Warranty

When you buy a new vehicle from BMW you will get coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. All BMW vehicles come with a 12-year corrosion warranty for unlimited miles.
