#21 of 50 Extended Maintenance by buddybrad Sep 18, 2007 (11:23 am)
I have a '03 540i with 74K on it. I bought the Extended Maintenance and glad of it. It was around $1300 if I remember correctly and it's close to paying for itself now that the front rotors, calipers, and wear sensors have been replaced (got 74K out of them and the rear brakes are still org.).   The Extended Parts/Labor Warranty was going to be just over $3200 and I passed. So far my only major out-of-pocket cost has been a new power steering pump for $860 so I'm still money ahead there. Time will tell!   If the dealer likes a 3rd party insurance company - I'd trust them for a good savings.   As for cashing in early: Extended Maintenance policy stays with the car if you sell it and you can't get reimbursed. Extended Parts/Labor Warranty can be refunded (pro rated of course). Replies to this message: shipo (Sep 18, 2007 11:51 am)

Replying to: buddybrad (Sep 18, 2007 11:23 am) Your 540i has the exact same rotors, pads and sensors as my 2002 530i, and it only cost me about $150 per axle for all of the above. I surely hope your dealer didn't charge you nearly $1,300 for just your front brakes. :-/   Best Regards, Shipo
#23 of 50 water leak by zoelman Sep 24, 2007 (4:10 pm)
i have a cpo 2004 540i, and i bought the extended warranty, so i am covered through mid-2010 or so. i was wondering if water leaks are covered?   it rained recently, not much and just a couple of days, but when i went out to my car the driver's side floor mat was soaking wet! has anyone else experienced this? i was shocked and dismayed at this situation - the car only has 24k miles on it.   any ideas?   thanks, brian Replies to this message: shipo (Sep 24, 2007 5:33 pm)

Replying to: zoelman (Sep 24, 2007 4:10 pm) Typically that implies a clogged sunroof drain. While I doubt it is covered under your extended warranty (but it never hurts to ask), it should take the dealership all of five minutes to clear so this isn't going to be a high $$$ repair..   Best Regards, Shipo
#25 of 50 leak by zoelman Sep 26, 2007 (11:57 am)
thanks, that's a relief if that's what it turns out to be. hope so. love the car otherwise, has been a gem. oh, and it's actually a 545i, not 540i.....not sure what i was thinking on that.   it does have slight rattle/creaky noises when driving at slower speeds and the windows are up, seems to be coming from windows/doors. seems to go away at higher speeds (or maybe other sounds drown it out) or if windows down slightly. i have no clue what that's about or how to fix if possible.   best, b
#26 of 50 Rattling Windows by raphaelhom Sep 26, 2007 (12:34 pm)
I have a 2002 540 wagon and the windows have always rattled. They finally admited that they knew about this problem but had no fix for it. Replies to this message: hematochez (Nov 16, 2007 11:58 am) shipo (Nov 16, 2007 12:04 pm) hematochez (Nov 21, 2007 2:06 pm)

Replying to: raphaelhom (Sep 26, 2007 12:34 pm) just bought new 2008 528   I was offered an extended Maintenance upgrade for $3895.00 which would cover up to 100,000. what is everyone else being offered??? Replies to this message: shipo (Nov 16, 2007 12:04 pm) hematochez (Nov 21, 2007 2:06 pm)

Replying to: hematochez (Nov 16, 2007 11:58 am) Nearly $4,000 for extended maintenance? Yikes! I'm thinking that's nearly twice as high (if not more) than any price that I've seen to date. Personally I'd take a pass.   Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: hematochez (Nov 21, 2007 2:06 pm)
