Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 16, 2009 8:27 am) If it's a US spec 5er it would be an E28, which only came with the 2.8L M20 small six(528e) or the 3.5L M30 big six(535i). I'd want to know what fault triggered the CEL. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Nov 17, 2009 7:04 am)

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 16, 2009 12:06 pm) Ah, you are right. In that case, I'd be interested in either, although the 2.7 (not 2.8) would be of much less interest in stock form.
#329 of 336 Wheelguard on 07 550i by irus_x5 Nov 19, 2009 (3:33 pm)
Hi All, I am about to pull the trigger on a 07 550 CPO with 8K miles. Wanted to ask if it is worth buying the Wheelguard tire and rim warranty. The dealer is quoting $1500 for the tire and rim and $2400 for extended maintenance program. I think I will pass on the maintenance but am seriously considering the tire warranty.   Please advise Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 19, 2009 5:27 pm) irus_x5 (Nov 19, 2009 6:52 pm) kyfdx (Nov 19, 2009 7:44 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: irus_x5 (Nov 19, 2009 3:33 pm) How long is left on the original maintenance plan, and how many miles/yr do you plan on driving?   I'd be more likely to buy the maintenance plan, if I was getting full use of it... Doubt I'd pay for the tire/rim warranty, though...   Probably wouldn't get either one...

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 19, 2009 5:27 pm) The tire and rim plan is for 5 years. The maintenance plan extends to 100k or 6 years from in service date so I will get up to 11/12. Do you feel I will get full use as the vehicle has only 8.5k mile on it? Thanks for your advise... Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 19, 2009 7:44 pm) irus_x5 (Nov 20, 2009 12:47 pm)

Replying to: irus_x5 (Nov 19, 2009 6:52 pm) You'll have maintenance included for the rest of the original plan, which is one more year... So, the extended maintenance will only kick in for the two years after that...   If you are your typical 12K-15K per year driver, then you won't even make it to the 60K mile inspection II..., by the end of the extended maintenance plan..   Given that, I vote for doing neither... Maintenance (and warranty) is free for the next year... Stick that $3900 in the bank and use it for a maintenance/repair/tire fund...   This car isn't CPO, is it? With the extended warranty?

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 19, 2009 7:44 pm) Yes it is CPO with the two year 60K miles extended warranty. Got the car today without any warranty. Thank you for your help!!
#335 of 336 Welcome me, please! by rez Nov 22, 2009 (9:44 pm)
Hello, in the market for a used/ CPO '08 535i with possibly Sports, Premium and Navigation and mileage around 25K. Upgrading from a '00 Passat. A few questions. #1 I have noticed quite a few of these vehicles being manufacturer buy backs. Typically the ignition coil or the high pressure fuel pump were replaced and the vehicles are sold with the 4 yr/ 50K warranty with additional warranty on the replaced part. Are those good to buy? If so, at what price range?? #2 If a vehicle has the Sports Package, the wheel size is 18" and the rear tire size is different from the front ones, which IMO, deprives one from taking advantage on getting a deal on buying a set of 4 tires. Please, advise if I should avoid the Sports Pkg, and opt for the 17" wheels. #3 Extended warranties and tire/ wheel warranties...are they mandatory as far as value goes, or are they good to have? Whats a good price for them?    Generally, is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the vehicle? Thank you in advance.
#336 of 336 price for 2008 528i certified by neverland Nov 25, 2009 (10:13 pm)
Hi all, I am about to buy a 2008 528i with 25k miles, certified, no additional option. The dealer is asking for 32k + tax. Is it a fair price? Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
