#11 of 40 Re: CPO Warranty question by ytsejam Mar 30, 2007 (11:25 am)
Replying to: ytsejam (Mar 30, 2007 10:39 am) Let me clarify my point. The last question was referring to the duration of CPO warranty after your factory warranty runs out. If you drive out of the factory coverage before the first four years expire, the CPO coverage will NOT make up for that, i.e. it will not go past two years after the factory warranty runs out, even if you don't reach the total of 100K miles on the car. Thus, it is possible for the car to be less than 6 years old and have less 100K miles on it, yet no longer be covered by the CPO warranty.

Replying to: ytsejam (Mar 30, 2007 11:25 am) Actually... the warranty lasts the full six years from the original in-service date, no matter when the miles are put on... as long as you stay under 100K total..   In your example... how would the dealer know what date you exceeded 50K miles? Unless you had a warranty issue, you could get your car serviced elsewhere and they wouldn't have a clue.   Vehicle history report? You get it from your BMW service advisor. Ask for yours.. you'll see right on the history report when it says your CPO warranty expires.   I know how the verbiage reads... but, in practice, that is not how it works.. 6yr/100K from the original in-service date.. Check with your service advisor.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: ytsejam (Mar 30, 2007 1:18 pm) pat (Mar 30, 2007 3:40 pm) ytsejam (Mar 30, 2007 4:10 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 30, 2007 11:48 am) Well, that is *if* you don't get your maintenance done at the dealership. Some people always bring their cars to the dealer for service - for different reasons. If you need an oil change on a 3 year old CPO car that has 50K on it already and you bring it to the dealer, I'm pretty sure they'll point that fact out later on when you take it there for warranty service thinking it's still under the CPO warranty b/c it doesn't have 100K miles on it, or not yet 6 years old.   As for vehicle history reports - are you referring to the CARFAX data? If so, here's one for a CPO car - can you tell from looking at it when the CPO warranty runs out???   Just out of curiousity - are you a BMW owner or somehow affiliated with them to make such confident statements without qualifying them?

He knows his stuff, I assure you. Replies to this message: ytsejam (Mar 30, 2007 4:10 pm) pat (Mar 31, 2007 7:41 am)

Replying to: pat (Mar 30, 2007 3:40 pm) You are off the subject. No offense, but do you have anything relevant to add to this discussion, specifically regarding my last comment? Replies to this message: pat (Mar 31, 2007 7:41 am)
#17 of 40 Vehicle history report.. by kyfdx HOST Mar 30, 2007 (6:03 pm)
Not Carfax..   They come from BMW.. Your service advisor can pull the one for your car.. It lists the warranty expiration date for your car.. Ask your service advisor for it.. You'll see your warranty expiration date. It will be exactly six years from the in-service date..   I used the service at a place other than the dealer as an example.. to show that they don't know what date you hit 50K miles.. (they don't care, either.. which is really my point).   Yes.. I'm a BMW owner.. 3 times over..   I'm sorry I can't show you my credentials... If you do enough searching on this issue, you'll find the correct answer... if that is indeed what you desire.. Ask you service advisor for your BMW vehicle history report. It shows the complete sales and service history of your BMW. It is a must see for a purchaser of a used BMW.   Good luck, kyfdx Replies to this message: us015478 (Jan 24, 2008 10:06 pm) dujox (Jul 22, 2008 10:54 am)

#19 of 40 The Bottom Line by txbmwfan Mar 31, 2007 (5:34 pm)
Unequivocably, the CPO warranty of 6 years/100K mi begins with the original in-service date. The in-service date is same as the production date (which can be earlier than original owner purchase date). This is uncontroverted FACT.   As noted previously, the in-service date is available at a BMW dealer based on VIN#. It is not possible to have a CPO car out of warranty earlier than 6 years or 100K mi of in-service date. The original mfg. warranty is 4 years/50K (from in-service date). The CPO simply extends the original warranty by 2 years/50K mi (from in-service date) to a total of 6 years/100K mi (from in-service date).   By way of example, I have a 2004 325i bought new with an in-service date of March 2004 (purchased new in April 2004). The original 4 yr/50K warranty runs through the earlier of March 2008 or 50K mi. I can purchase the same coverage as CPO plan with the Original Owner's Protection Plan, which would extend my warranty to a total of 6 years/100K mi (from in-service date). For me, the plan would extend my coverage to the earlier of March 2010 or 100K mi.   It is a simple as that.
#20 of 40 Dealer Cost of Extended Maint. by samjaey Apr 09, 2007 (10:05 am)
I have looked everywhere but have not been able to find out what the answer to this is.   I would like to know what the dealer's cost is for an extended maintenance on a 06-07 3-series. Specifically I have a 06 325i which I would like to extended maintenance on and I have been offered between 1295-1395. It seems like everyone thinks they are doing me a favor by offering it for that price, however seems like this is with a sizeable profit. What is the true cost and what is a reasonable offer? Thanks!
