If you are the original lessee or owner, you can buy the extended warranty and maintenance at any point before the original plans expire (which is at 4yr/50K).
 
Also, you can buy them from any BMW dealer in the US.. and, with a little research, you can find dealers that discount those prices. For example, the extended maintenance on an E90 3-series has a list prices of $2095 and a dealer cost of $1595. Many dealers will knock $200 off without blinking, and others might go as low as $1750.
 
However, if you don't drive a lot (and I've lost the thread on how many miles you drive), then these plans are of less value to you, though the cost is the same. They work well for those who have driven 45K-50K miles on their three year lease, and expect to do the same for the next three years.. For those that drive less, I concur with the others... not worth it.

#11324 of 11916 CPO'd 08 328i by drew11m

Mar 26, 2011 (4:08 pm)

Looking for thoughts on a CPO'd 2008 328i with premium/satellite radio/heated seats and moonroof.
25k miles
 
dealer listing as 27,350 Warranty remaining until 3/14
 
Think there is room to move on this? I have some questions into the dealer on pricing but want to see where a fair price would be
 
Thanks!

Quick update, I bought the car for the residual and passed on the extended warranty and maintenance. If I subsequently determine to by the extended warranty and/or maintenance, I'll do so next year when the current ones are set to expire. Thanks for the help!
 
Best,

#11328 of 11916 Current 08 CPO offer by drew11m

Mar 31, 2011 (9:32 am)

Ok, can someone help me out here. Found my car, trying to get some clarity on the financing deals to decide if i want to finance or pay cash in full.
 
Current CPO offers for financing until 2 Mar are, 0.9%, 1500 towards payments, or 6/100K free maintenance
 
For the financing offer, the salesman is under the impression that the 0.9% if for a 24-month finance deal. is this accurate? If so, its there a higher rate for a 36-month term?
 
I know if you take the 1500 towards your payments, its at normal BMW finance rates. What would that be for someone with a 800 credit score?
 
Many thanks
AC

Yes the .9% financing is for 24 months.
 
When I was looking to get my 3er, I was planning to get the $1500 credit towards the payments with the standard rate (considerably higher than the market rate) and then re-finance after 4 months (min. required to get the 1500 credit). I would have been interested at the .9% financing if it was for a longer term. Free maintenance saves some money but you can still buy it from the dealer (some dealers are willing to discount it, maybe you can negotiate it as part of the car purchase at dealer cost)

well here's the way they finally broke it down
 
0.9 for 24 months
2.9 for 36 or higher
 
or 4.69 for 36 (or higher) with $500 credit for each of the first 3 months (1500) total. No pre-payment penalty.
 
Even with the variance in interest rate, i still save more taking the credit than otherwise especially if I just pay it off in full in 6-8 months.
 
But i have my deposit down on my 328xi, now have to try and do paperwork from halfway across the country.

#11331 of 11916 Is 32k + taxes for 2008 335xi is a good price for CPO? by roopsk

Apr 04, 2011 (4:09 pm)

Hi all,
 
I have question for the people out here. I am in market and searching for 2008 BMW 335xi CPO. I got a quote for 2008 BMW 335xi black on black which is having 23,752 miles on it and dealer is not willing to reduce the price. Infact they raised the price by almost 3k when I see the listing on internet but is willing to sell for 32k. This one is equipped with premium and cold packages, Ipod/Usb adapter and navigation. Can someone please let me know whether this a good price to go for 335xi or not?
 
Many thanks,
RoopSk

#11332 of 11916 Maintenance Package by lamusic

Apr 07, 2011 (5:58 pm)

I am purchasing a 2008 CPO and deciding whether to take the $1500 credit or the maintenance package.
 
Does anyone know - roughly - the cost of the maintenance to the dealer? I would ideally like to take the credit and purchase the maintenance plan.
