Best extended warranty for CONVERTIBLES

[1junkie]

I have a 2012 135i convertible and certified warranty is almost up. I want a warranty that will cover the convertible parts as it seems most do not. Even bmw certified only covers certain parts. Any suggestions?

I have a 135is convertible with very low mileage, that I bought from Carmax a couple of years ago. I also bought their extended warranty, which covers the convertible "apparatus," but not the fabric top itself.

I can't speak to other extended warranties on convertibles. I think there is probably no one who will cover the fabric top, itself.

There is at least one company that sells German fabric replacement tops for BMWs for around $1000, and who repairs the mechanical part (the motor pump) that tends to break, for a fairly modest sum. This is the link that I got from other forum threads:

If you can replace the fabric top and repair the major mechanical part that breaks, then you probably do not need to insure that part of the vehicle.
