Replying to: x021627 (Jul 07, 2009 6:19 am) and I tried hard to understand why I shouldn't ever make down pay. Can you advise why we shouldn't do that? Thanks!!! |

Guys, Question on warranty: I recently got a 2007 CPO 530i, which I love. The warranty runs to end of June 2012. In service date was June 2006. When I was reading the vehicle manuals, I noticed in that leather bound case, a white card, size of a credit card, that was issued by BMW which has VIN, model, and IN SERVICE DATE. The in service date according to this card was January 2, 2007. When I questioned the dealer ( I really don't think they could or would try to fool someone on a major issue like a warranty), she told me that was not the final word on the in service date, that it was in the system. What is this card, and what does it mean? I cannot be the only BMW owner that has a vehicle with that white card (looks like a credit card) on the left side of the leather case holding the manuals. If I have to, I want to copy it, and send it to BMW USA and ask about it, but I don't want my dealer to feel I don't trust them as I need them for servicing, etc. What do you think? Is there any way I can independently check on my vehicle's in service date? |

Guys, (I'm cross posting this message as this seems a much more active topic): Question on warranty: I recently got a 2007 CPO 530i, which I love. The warranty runs to end of June 2012. In service date was June 2006.

Replying to: gardis (Jul 07, 2009 10:11 am) It certainly couldn't have come with the car, because the in-service date is when the car is sold, which can't be determined ahead of time. Your dealer is correct that the date in the system for your VIN number is the one that governs the warranty. Next time you are by the dealer, take your VIN number into the service advisor, and ask him (or her) to tell you your in-service date. regards, kyfdx |

Thanks for that info. Your explanation makes sense. I'm going to take it to my former service dealer BMW of Darien and ask her to put the VIN in the system and see what comes up. Question: if I want to warm up the engine in the winter, I usually close the door and go in the house for 10 minutes. I notice now that with this vehicle, the doors automatically lock after I"m in the car a few minutes. How can I prevent the doors from locking if I'm not sitting in the car, with the engine running? I know there has to be a way to do this. I know I should consult the OM but haven't done so yet. I'm working my way through it.......... Thanks Kyfdx, really appreciate your input. I've learned a tremendous lot from this forum. Gardis - CT

Can anyone tell me what the current BMW Financial MF and residual % rates are for a 36 Month lease on a 2010 535I with M sport package? Residual for both 10K and 12K miles a year would be helpful. Thanks!
