Comment on The BMW CPO and Extended Warranty – What’s the deal? by Will

Chris:

Thanks for the quick reply. The CPO Limited Warranty covers a wide range of vehicle components, including the engine, powertrain,
electrical system, climate control and more. So basically the major engine components? The BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade ($1900) would cover the 60K service, brakes, oil over the 50K miles. Since I have not had a BMW before, are the mechanical service prices in line with the $1900 cost? You mentioned the extended warranty is recommended on the X3.

Thanks again.

Will,

It is important to look at the details of the warranty itself. Also, how long have they covered you under hte CPO warranty? If your CPO warranty covers you until 100k, I don’t see the need to get an extended warranty on top of that. If the $1900 warranty is the ‘extended service agreement’ DO NOT purchase it. Unfortunately the extended service agreement will only get you a few oil changes and a set of brakes.

Check what is covered under the CPO vs. the Extended Warranty and see if the gaps that are filled by the extended warranty make it a smart purchase.

Good Luck!

Chris

I recently purchased a certified pre-owned 2006 X3 with 48K miles from a local BMW dealership. Is it worth purchasing the extended warranty program (2 years or 50,000 miles) for $1900 thru BMW?

Thanks,

Comment on Tires for your BMW and the Run-Flat issue by Yifan

Thanks for the BMW RFT discussion. I was searching for comments on the RFT noise on my 06′ 330i and found this site. It certainly is very helpufl. I am seriously thinkingof replacing my Kuhmo RFT (225/45R17) with your recommendation. Do you know if this would affact any warranty (currently I have extended warranty) with a set of non-OEM tires? Thanks.

Packing tape to keep the rear window up. Ha Ha! Everone knows that’s what duct tape is for!

Couldn’t agree more. Improve the driver, it carries over to whatever you’re driving. Also provides an even greater appreciation of seeing others’ driving prowess.

Chris,
It truly is an amazing car, and has obviously been looked after for all of it’s 42K miles, I have seen cars with half of this mileage looking 10 time worse!

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Darren.

This car definitely gets a holy crap from me…

There aren’t many cars that are more alluring to me than one of the coupes in the background of these pics… but this is definitely one.
