#2679 of 3495 extended warranty by gohorns1 Jul 10, 2007 (8:57 pm)
I am buying a 535i. It is on order and should be here in a few weeks. Does anyone have a comment regarding the extended warranty? I tend to hold on to a car and can see keeping this for 6 or more years, if all goes well. What should I expect to pay and is it better to purchase the warranty now or wait until later, closer to the end of the 4-year warranty. Any advice is appreciated.

Replying to: carnaught (Jul 08, 2007 7:24 am) I dont know the MSRP yet. But yes it comes certified plus the residual warranty. Like I said 18k on it so far. Thanks.
#2682 of 3495 528i price and additional warranty by bmw_user Jul 10, 2007 (6:49 am)
Hi,    I could finally negotiate with a dealer the following price for the following configuration: BMW 528i with Cold weather package Premium package automatic transmission Xenon lights with adaptive control USB and ipod adapter The price is $50,000 including taxes, fee everything. Is this a good price? I guess so as I got $52,000 in cars.com Also there is an option to take additional warranty after 50,000 miles for something around 2,000. Is it a good idea to take the warranty now or later? Also the dealer I am buying is not the one that's close to me. Should I get the warranty from a dealer close to me or it doesn't matter? Also please advise me if I need to be careful with anything else when I am buying. Thanks.

Replying to: seloo (Jul 11, 2007 4:19 am) Thanks for the input. I put on about 12K miles/year so I should get the full 4-years out of the warranty. I really don't like the idea of paying now for something I won't need for four years and thus I'm leaning toward wainting.
#2684 of 3495 Waitin'...anticipatin' by carnaught Jul 12, 2007 (12:54 pm)
Well, it's now about six weeks since I ordered my 535. I just got word from the dealer that it's built and waiting in Europe for shipment at the port. I could have it as early as the end of July.   My 3 Series lease will end Aug.23rd. The question is, if I turn it in early will BMWFS pro-rate me on either car? Or, do I just wait it out?

Replying to: carnaught (Jul 12, 2007 12:54 pm) FYI: I learned from my dealer that BMW does not pro-rate their leases if turned in early. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 13, 2007 5:47 am) carnaught (Jul 13, 2007 7:50 am)

Replying to: carnaught (Jul 12, 2007 3:34 pm) When they leave you the message that your new car is ready..., don't call them back for a couple of days.. Then, tell them it will be the first of next week before you can get in, as you are going out of town on business..   You can easily put off delivery for a couple of weeks..

Dealer already told me they understood that I would not take delivery immediately should the new car come in weeks before the older lease expires. They said they have a "room" for purchased cars that will be safe from being test driven and the lookieloos.
