#3830 of 4446 Re: My BMW will not start on occassion [tnguyen74] by widriver2 Mar 28, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Replying to: tnguyen74 (Mar 11, 2008 8:48 pm) It did not start again yesterday and today, but I was able to start it with the other key. So it appears only one key is working. However, when it did not start in February I believe my wife tried the other key and had no luck. So either I flooded it or something and that's why last month the second key did not work; both keys are having problems; or the key issue is something new and different. Or maybe the problem caused my key to short??? Just taking shots in the dark.
#3831 of 4446 BMW extended maintenance warranty by omegagen Mar 30, 2008 (7:30 am)
I just purchased a 2005 330i w/ 42000 miles. When I went to get it serviced at my local BMW facility I was told that my car was still eligible for the BMW maintenance extended warranty. He stated the warranty was 6 years(from date of delivery, 12/04)/72000miles for $1300. I'm not sure if I should take this or not. One minute I think it's a good idea the next it seems like alot for 2 1/2 years &/or 30000 miles. Any comments to help me decide?   Thanks!!! Replies to this message: rhmass (Mar 30, 2008 2:54 pm)

Replying to: omegagen (Mar 30, 2008 7:30 am) I bought the extended maintenance for my 2002 325exT at about $1,250. I just had my last service visit earlier this month under the contract. Unless you can and are willing to do most of the maintenance yourself, it is a good deal. I had both my front and rear brakes and rotors done, two oil changes, two set of windshield wipers replaced and all drive belts replaced during this extended coverage period. It is definitely a bargain for someone intending to keep the car for a while longer.

Replying to: sunilb (Feb 08, 2008 11:31 pm) Just an update... this morning at ~ 87.2K miles, the yellow oil lamp came on so I added 1/2 a quart. So, that's a bit over 2,000 miles without having to add any additional oil.   Next time I bring the car in, I will have them check/replace the oil separator valve.

#3835 of 4446 Maintenance Program by canman1971 Apr 13, 2008 (4:24 am)
Hey guys, I'm considering the maintenance program because my car will hit 50000 miles soon, but my dealer quoted my 1695, which I know is too much. I also know some on here have gotten theirs from another dealer around the country, due to the fact it doesn't matter which one you get it from. Now, I do have an independent tech that did/does a lot of my work. For example, oil change is like 65 rather than the 120 my dealer would charge. So, has anyone bought one recently at a lower price and if so which dealer. I know I should stop being a lame ass and just get the manuel many here speak of and do stuff myself, but I'm not sure I'd feel safe after I did my brakes Replies to this message: shipo (Apr 13, 2008 7:39 am) roadburner (Apr 13, 2008 10:18 am) etomori (Apr 13, 2008 9:33 pm)
