E39 M5 warranties?

[blindswelledrat]

Are there any decent third part warranties available for these cars or is BMW's £1300 the only realistic option?
I've heard that cheaper alternatives tend to quibble everything and have unrealistic low maximum values etc
Can anyone tell me any more?

Thought it was £1800 for the M5?

Yes, that's what I've heard BMW are charging for cars on 60k to <100k miles at the time of taking out the warranty. Cars on <60k are about half that price and BMW will not give warrantys to cars already on 100k+ miles.

Sorry I don't know about third party warranty companies.

Why do you want a warranty. Serious question.

I assume your answer is vanos. If so why not buy a mid 2001 car when the vanos problems seem to have been substantively cured?
