Unless I buy a new BMW, most likely I’ll move on to some other brand. My 1er is starting to get weird electrical gremlins and there’s less than one year left in my CPO.

BMW warranties are starting to suck unless you pay $$.

The strategy now is to get a newer car, less than 2 years old but the mileage is not that important. That way you'll have maybe 4 years with unlimited miles. Any word on how this affects CPO Elite cars? The low mileage CPOs had a 75k total warranty vs. 100K for normal mileage cars. Now that it's unlimited miles how does this work? Maybe it's a shorter term of 6 months after the New Vehicle warranty instead of 1 year?

Just buy a new car and use Geico’s mechanical breakdown coverage.

Yup, I’m that guy for bumping an old thread rather than starting a new one. On the BMWUSA website I read:

Additional plans are available to extend your vehicle's coverage up to a total of 6 years with unlimited miles.

Has anyone gotten estimates from either BMWUSA and/or their dealers on the cost for the 6th year/unlimited mileage? I would assume this would have to be purchased right before the actual 5th year of coverage ends.

Thanks in advance

I would get quotes from multiple dealers. This is total years from date of original in service date for the first owner. It is unlimited miles so it is in someways better than the original warranty though CPO has deductible and doesn't cover everything the original warranty covers though you can also sign up to cover more items.

you want the warranty to be long enough to get at least one electric water pump ;-)

Yes but there's some oddity to their renewals. For example, I was sent a quote by my local dealer to add two additional years of coverage for $1,080 needless to say I felt this was a good deal, I asked for additional detail and noticed the wording. After clarifying in my case it's only an additional year for $1,080, not the two because of the way my CPO ends at yr5.

Waiting on a buddy of mine who works at a dealer out in CO Springs for a quote, plus I have to call my local dealer for one as well. My CPO is about to kick in and expires 7/31/20.

Haha. What is the average lifespan of a N20/N26 WP?

Still, IMHO $1,080 for an extra year of unlimited mileage warranty that’s not bad. Did you decide against purchasing?

It's CPO warranty so there's things not covered. I haven't decided yet, my coverage lapses in Oct. If I can't find something else to drive by then, I might buy another year. Hard to do that though when you know how well the vehicle has been taken care of. It's in good shape and I do oil changes halfway through the maintenance minder interval...I dunno what I'll do.

If you don’t mind, please PM me the dealer who quoted you that rate as I was quoted $2800 retail but would be given to me at ‘discount’ for $2k. Otherwise no worries as I’ll keep shopping around. I’ll be driving this 320i to the ground.

[c1pher]

I loved my 135is and really was considering an X4 M40i to replace it. I saw that CPO prices were nearly $20k less than new but was disappointed in the CPO warranty.

When I started looking at the Macan, Porsche tacks on an additional two years unlimited miles. Plus, even if you don’t buy a used Porsche from a Porsche dealer, if it meets criteria, you can get an extended warranty through them for up to ten years of the vehicles age. There may be other choices but at least it’s an option.

[Fast4d]

last three vehicles my wife drove X5 4.4, X5 4.8 and X3 2.8 all had dead WPs around 70-80k. CPO deductible is $50?

my beater 2006 325i is a unicorn. original WP at 114k

Doesn't bother me as much as it would have awhile back. The Americans are making some kickass, amazing cars now.

Looks like you fell in love with the M4 uh haha

i paid the same $2K price for the 2-year unlimited mileage CPO warranty on my 2015 CPO F22 when i purchased in nov 2017. i also paid $1800 for the 6-yr 100K maintenance plan since i'm a high-mileage driver. i've only paid for tires in the 18 months that ive owned the car. no others issues aside from regular maintenance, which i'm doing about every 3 months. rear brakes will be the next big ticket item at my next service.

I only bought one because I was concerned about my Z4M with the S54! It wound up being a good move though, I absolutely love my M4. I do miss the top down driving of the Z4M, and if I had confidence in the S54 I never would sold it. The Z4M is still a fantastic machine, dare say maybe my favorite car I've ever owned?

I just wanted some peace of mind with a warranty etc. Here's a pic of my current car, it's definitely my favorite car next to the Z4M. It's a modern day MKIV Supra in my opinion.

Haha I get you, a M4 is probably my next car as well in ~ 4 years. Probably be out of warranty then but it seems to be "bulletprrof" overall! I don't have a vert, still a sunroof, I think that is something I would miss alot to.

And oh my wooooow, YMB is my top color choice! So nice!! The M only colors are so beautiful

I can't recommend the car enough! It's an amazing machine, and people just looooove it. Constant compliments about the color etc. Just make sure to get a nice color like YMB, it really sets off the car!

That rear end isn't too bad either.

Just to make sure we're on the same page.

BMW is hoping people think their CPO means 5 years/unlimited miles or 6 years/unlimited miles (if pay extra).

Yes, it's 5 total years (or 6 years if paid extra) from original in service date, but the unlimited miles part is only for 1 year though or up to 2 years if you pay extra. The CPO unlimited miles only starts once your new car 48 months/50,000 miles (whichever comes first) is up. So it's really only unlimited miles once your regular new car warranty expires and that would begin on the 1st day of the 49th month or when the car hits 50,001 miles and then only lasts for 1 year or up to 2 if you pay extra.

Most people aren't putting more than 15,000 miles on a car in 1 year or 30,000 miles on a car in 2 years so the CPO say for me for example, If I got one (I drive 12k miles/year), would be 1 year/12k miles or 2 years/24k miles which is what BMW is hoping for (that you don't drive it more than the average 15k/year). But it sounds far better to tell people, "Our CPO program is 1 year/unlimited miles or 2 year/unlimited miles."

[lucho831]

Well explained Clabro. Wish the CPO was an additional 2 years after the 4yrs or 50k miles.
