60k Miles inspections, is this worthy

[chubyball]

I am about to bring my car for 60K miles inpsections, I just wondered is it worthy to do it. I also have 100K miles bumper to bumpers warranty. Anyone know that the dealer cover problems below:

1. Maintain lights, sometimes appears in 5 greens, but most of the times only 1 green.
2. Pixels missing in radio and check lcd
3. front passenger door lock does not lock itself sometimes.
4. At sudden stop, steering wheel vibrate likes crazy (is it possible arm control need to be replaced?)
Dealer quote me $640.00 for inspection and it will cover items 1. and 4.
Since, I mention to dealer that I had local done my oil change, they will deduce $80.00 from oil change. But if I wanted to have transmission fluild change which is due at 100Kmiles, they will charge me $300-400 for the job, which they will remove the oil pan and replace the filter in transmission itself and replace 7-8 litter of transmissiton fluid with the cost of $30/litter.
I also mention about fluid change in Differential trans-case, they said it does not need until the message appears between 60K-100K miles. Is this true everyone, or the stealer just want to dip in my pockets?

Thanks for any future comments

ok.. my 2 cents
Is your BMW out of Maintenance?? It can go up to 100k if you paid for the additional miles and time,if it is.. let the dealer take care of it. If not take it to a reputable BMW local center (not dealer) mostly the inspection 1 covers : oil, microfilter and full inspection of you vehicle(preventive maint) they call it.
make sure there gonna cover item#4 with the Insepction 1.. It doesn't sound correct..they may look at the complaint but the $640.00 charge doesn't sound correct as far as being included.

The other issues like your cluster read out and Door acuator/regulator should be covered if you have CPO warranty(don't forget the $50.00 deductable) not sure on the "Sudden Stop" complaint
could be any number of things: Brakes/rotors/Tie Rods Etc.

also most dealers don't recommend trans change till either 100k or they sometimes say the life of the vehicle.. idk about that issue..

I have a thirdparty warranty (The Plan, Prizm Administrative Solution, inc). BMWNA calls this warranty party as generics. On this Warranty said bumper to bumper coverage, $100 deductable, 84 months or 100K miles.

I just called the Prizm and they said go head have the Dealers diagnostic then call them back for the follow up.

Should I have the dealers diangostic these problems instead of let them take my $650 for inspection I? Of course, diagnostic is not free but I can be cheaper than 650, what do you guys think?

Inspection I? Isn't 60k miles inspection II?

Sorry, it should be inspection II

I called BMWNA and toldl them about the problem that I have with the vehicle regarding with pixels missing in SPEEDOMETER's LCD and RADIO panel. Today, they call me back and to me they approved for parts and label on these items. Since, my car is already at the Dealer, they said, they will call the Service manager and have the Dealer move forward with replacement items. This is nice, guys!

BmW dealer just called me and said that the reason that I have the vibration because the brake has 20% lifetime left therefore, at the sudden stop will generate a lot of heat, which cause the steering to vibrate. Dealer also let me know my next visit it will cost me $600 for replacing rotors, pads and sensors. Dealer also brings up the issue of drive bells are cracking, he refers to 2 belts: Aircondition belt and alternator belt with cost of $180.

BMWNA did called the service manager and offered to replace those items but not cover for labors.

So, the Dealer told me it's cheaper to go for the Warranty with $100.00 deductiable, that will cover side mirror loose motor and need a new one, replace instruments display lcd, radio lcd and the door lock mechanical parts.

Since I have my oil placed at 55K miles the dealer will deduct some of the amount of $680, oil filter + air filter and oil already changed at 55Kmiles so it will reduce to 580.
