If your X5 only has 31,500 miles in three years, then you will still be in warranty for the next year, even if your dealer doesn't CPO it.
 
So, you are only really gaining about 2 yrs and 21K miles of warranty..
 
Also, be aware that unless you pay for an extension, the "free maintenance" plan will expire at 4yr/50K. That doesn't come with the CPO warranty.
 
Also.. the dealer may not be paying the same amount for your car as you would... He may be getting more than $3000 out of the deal.
 
Is it a good deal? Hard to say...
 
regards,

To build on what kyfdx said about what the dealer is paying for the car.... The residual lease-end value that you are quoted from BMWFS (pre-determined at beginning of the lease) is probably not the same as what they will buy the car for from BMWFS.
 
Since you are way under your miles, BMWFS will take this into account and it'll actually cost the dealer more to get a car with low miles. BMWFS uses average Manheim values to determine what the dealer can buy the car for. They adjust for miles, so they'll pay more for a low-mileage car and less for high-miles.
 
The one thing BMWFS does not adjust for is options.... So whether your car is a base car with manual transmission, leatherette or if it's loaded with sport pkg, navigation, it won't make a difference in the price the dealer buys it for from BMWFS.

thanks so much for the replies. i'm now comparing coverage from warrantydirect.com vs purchasing the CPO/warranty from bmw. it's about the same cost (~$3k) but provides 2 more years of coverage than bmw (coverage thru 2011 vs 2009) and covers wear & tear. is the CPO process worth going thru bmw? i've read good things about warrantydirect.com - anything to the contrary? the deciding factor may be that bmw is going to fix the 'excess wear and tear' on the body that they found during inspection (~$1500) which is included in the $3k.

He does have a point, but it doesn't sound like he expressed it very well. There are definitely a lot of people on here that brag about a particular deal they got that you know are embellishing the details. Most of the regulars on these boards established that a long time ago.... Regardless, that salesperson could have said it a little more tactfully.

X5 Advice by tenet1

Given that the X5 model is coming to a close, when will the incentives kick in the get rid of the remaining inventory? What are some of the incentives that are likely:
 
Price rebates or incentives
Low money factors (for lease)
cheap financing
some or all of the above
 
I am looking to lease or buy a X5 3.0 and want to make sure i know when to start getting the deals on these
 
Thanks
