#1243 of 1312 Re: Extended maintenance package cost? [scm74] by sadatx Oct 04, 2006 (1:13 am)
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.

#1248 of 1312 Undecided about 2006 750i by sambo49 Nov 20, 2006 (4:15 am)
I am considering the purchase of a 2006 750i with 33000 miles from an independent dealer who bought the car at an auction. Test drove the car briefly and everything seemed fine. It needs new front tires and the break pads may need replacement   In reading the bulletin board, I am having second thoughts about the car. A leading consumer publication rated the reliability of the car much worse than average based on owners feedback. Edmund's review was very favorable.   the asking price is 54k and the car was put in circulation in 04/2005.   I would appreciate any feedback and advice as to what to look for and whether current owners would or would not buy their 750 again.   THanks!

Replying to: sambo49 (Nov 20, 2006 4:15 am) Can you get any kind of warranty history on this car from the original selling dealer?   The 750i is an awesome car to drive but it is complex and repairs and maintenance is high, and depreciation is pretty steep.   I think your best approach is a) getting the car's warranty history b) seeing if extended warranty is possible or in effect and c) having the car checked out thoroughly stem to stern before you purchase it.   Once you've done this, your decision should become clearer to you.

i am really surprised after working on my car, figured bmw be a b...h to work on. but pleasantly surprised how easy they make it just one problem plastic clips like to fly when they pop out. i wish they didn't use plastic so much but i guess the car is heavy enough already Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2007 1:59 pm) john740il (Jan 15, 2007 11:51 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 15, 2007 12:03 pm)

Replying to: john740il (Jan 14, 2007 1:27 pm) 740s a lot easier than 750s I think, at least in the engine bay.   It's not the basic maintenance, it's the electronics that are intimidating. Brakes are brakes, mufflers are mufflers but a V-12 engine management system? Well now..... Replies to this message: john740il (Jan 15, 2007 11:51 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 15, 2007 12:03 pm)
