My 330i thread is here; This one starts a little messily. The N52 in the 330i is notoriously difficult to get power out of unless you turbo it or fit a blower (of which I did consider). I knew this when I bought it, but its primary task at the time was as a commuter. It started to grate on me last year that I wanted more power and I wanted forced induction again. I'm now working from home every day so my requirements in a car had changed. The replacement car wasn't up for negotiation. I wanted an N54 powered 335i. Twin turbo and 300HP but as the sedans never came with a manual, I'd need to put up with the auto (which is not a big deal once flashed and with paddles - lightning shifts!) In the beginning of December I saw a very cheap 335i on carsales at a stealership 4 planets away. So, my mate (who is also a bit of a BMW guy) and I jumped into the dirty 30 and went to have a look. It was fairly rough in the body but suspension was solid, as was the engine. With 140,000 k's it didn't feel a day over 80,000. The interior was in really good nic, it rode well, the engine response and boost was strong. It did have a rattle on cold start but I was pretty sure it wasn't the typical N54 wastegate rattle as it didn't happen on boost or off boost or when revs dropped, which is when you're supposed to hear it. The brakes were rooted and the steering wheel shook when braking hard. The tyres were shot too. So, I made an offer and it was accepted. As the car needed a blue slip, the shop was able to provide one and replaced front discs and pads along with a new set of tyres. We were to go down the next day to get it but they called to say it wouldn't be ready. I organised another time to pick it up in a few days. On the way down we were called 10 mins out to say car wouldn't start and needed an alternator. So they replaced that too. We went down 2 days later to pick up. It came home fine. New one on the left. Its been a confusing few weeks with these two.

So, before I start, I'm not naive. I'm aware of the negativity surrounding used car warranties and I've been bitten by them myself in the past. But, are the tides turning? For example, AWN has some really good reviews on Product Review. We're considering a used X5. I've done lots of research, spoken to lots of people and I'm aware of the risks. I'm definitely not going into this blindly. But, when looking at one on CarSales.com.au the other day, there was an ad for Redbook used car Warranty. It was pretty well priced with the mack daddy option costing $2100 for a 3 year warranty (max claim $8k). I kinda feel like $2100 would not cover an X5 8 speed box but $8k might. Considering the reviews for AWM, maybe its worth getting one of these warranties in the event of massive failure. Granted I don't expect small breaks to be covered but gearbox, air suspension, engine, etc. having them covered in a good solid, no backing-out warranty could be worth the outlay. (Note I cannot get the AWM warranty as the car would be too old, hence the references to Redbook.) Opinions? Any first hand experiences?
