Setting aside all the threads on pro vs cons of extended warranties, I'd like drivers opinions more specific to the M440 model with regards to perceived and actual reliability. I'm not generally one to purchase warranties of any type, but BMW in general does have a reputation for expensive repairs, which has me pondering it. At the least, the M440 I ordered has the laser lights, which aren't cheap to replace should they fail. Anyone with a '21, '22, or '23 M440 want to weigh in on your experience thus far? I know the B58 is one of the most reliable engines out there, but how about the rest of the car? Did BMW churn out an ultra reliable car in the G26? Thanks!

I have the same car with the same warranty. I hope I will not have to find out the hard way.

I know of 5 major problem with the B58.

Coolant Consumption/Loss
Valve Cover Gasket
PCV Valve Failure
Oil Filter “Disintegrating”
VANOS Solenoids

Time will tell.

What length Platinum? I'm leaning towards 7/100k. Any issues with your your G26 so far?
