#1238 of 1312 Re: Buying Advice for 2003 745i 22K miles - $40K [rohan25] by blckislandguy Sep 12, 2006 (6:59 pm)
Replying to: rohan25 (Jul 17, 2006 6:31 am) I'd wonder why it had only 21K miles? I Drive too complicated, too much service work, etc?   Man, these things make a Porsche's maintenance issues not even worth mentioning. Scary. I wonder who in the secondary market is going to buy a 7 Series when they come off all the hidden warranty programs in a couple of years? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 13, 2006 7:05 am)

Replying to: blckislandguy (Sep 12, 2006 6:59 pm) The 7 series does not tend to do well in resale once out of warranty; so people shopping for them used should not be afraid to bargain hard....it's a buyer's market on these cars when they are used and not CPO cars.
#1240 of 1312 Re: 2001 740 NAV/computer problem [eric312] by eric312 Sep 19, 2006 (11:25 am)
Replying to: eric312 (Sep 11, 2006 12:05 pm) I was able to temporarily solve the problem by: 1. Disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes 2. Taking out Nav DVD 3. Putting DVD back into reader   Everything worked ok for about 2 days and then Nav screen went grey again while i was driving. I reset the computer (see above) and screen started working again. But this time radio stopped working after about 5 min. I had to turn radio off and back on again. It worked for another 5-10min and then stopped at which point screen went dark again.   Any ideas/suggestions???
#1241 of 1312 MSDs, Taxes, and Money Factors by moesterwinter Sep 28, 2006 (5:45 pm)
If you are looking to essentially finance at the lowest rate possible, is it best to put minimal down up-front along with the maximum number of MSDs? What do MSDs give you? Is it .0002 off money factor for each increment of your monthly lease value?   What portion of the lease are taxes applied to? Down payment? Monthly? Security deposits? MSDs?   What should I expect markup above BMW buy rate lease on money factor? Is .0023 the current money factor for a Euro Delivery 328xi coupe? What would a good deal from a dealer be?
#1242 of 1312 Extended maintenance package cost? by scm74 Oct 03, 2006 (8:41 pm)
I just bought a 2003 745Li with 25k miles from a private party. It's got the standard maintenance to 50k miles, but I want to purchase the extended one through 100k miles. Any suggestions on where I can get a good deal? I am in Los Angeles area. I hear that I can purchase one maybe cheaper from an out of state dealer, so I am open to that too.   Any help would be appreciated!

Replying to: scm74 (Oct 03, 2006 8:41 pm) I also have an 03 745Li but with 26k miles. my maintenance ends April of next year. I've been to a few BMW dealers in the chicagoland area and ive been quoted anywhere from $1250 to $1495 for an additional 2 years or 50k miles. still on the fence abt getting the maintenance package.   hope that helps.

Replying to: sadatx (Oct 04, 2006 1:13 am) I am pretty sure I will get the extended maintenance package, but haven't yet done the research on just how many maintenance visits the car would need during that period of time. I saw something on the web saying a dealer in Van Nuys offers it for about $1,195, but I am not sure which one. Also, does this only cover scheduled maintenance? I am assuming it covers oil change, tune up, brakes, etc. But say I want to take it in for service but it is not yet at its scheduled interval or the car does not tell you it needs service, would it be covered? I suppose the factory warranty will cover all the other items like electrical, drivetrain, etc. Replies to this message: sadatx (Oct 04, 2006 2:01 pm)

Replying to: scm74 (Oct 04, 2006 6:52 am) Its my understanding that both the standard and extended maintenance programs only cover scheduled maintenance. So if you decide you want an oil change even though the on board computer states you're ok, that oil change will not be covered. I just experienced a similiar situation - my brakes are squeaking a little, so I took the car in for service to have this issue checked out. my on board computer states im good for another 6k miles. the dealer did note the squeak and told me to bring it back in another 2k miles and they would replace the pads. i think BMW only covers it if you're within 4k miles of scheduled service (at least for brake pads according to my dealer).   As for your factory warranty, since you have an 03, you automatically get an additional 2yr, 50k mile extended NEW car warranty (this warranty super cedes a CPO warranty) when the standard 4yr, 50k mile warranty expires. So you're covered bumper to bumper for a while I would send a quick note to BMWNA to confirm your vehicle does qualify for the extended warranty.   hope that helps.
