Didn't want to bump this thread as this is a slightly different question
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/933275-bmw-extended-warranties-what-do.html
A coworker bought a 2013 328i xDrive from a non-BMW dealer. It's still under warranty until June but he's looking for an extended warranty.
He tried to buy one at a dealer, but apparently the previous owner of the car also bought an extended warranty. Since the sale went through a dealer she can't transfer her extended warranty to him, and while her warranty is in effect BMW won't sell him one on the same car. So he's stuck, he's talked to several people at BMW, and the only thing they've come up with is that he should (not them, him) contact the previous owner, and have her fill out the paperwork to be reimbursed for the unused extended warranty. Then wait 4-6 weeks while that is processed. Any other ideas? I said trade the car, but he doesn't like that idea.
