X Off Warranty in 1 Month....

....anything I need/should/must do before it expires? CPO'd 2001 3.0 w/ 66,000 miles. Any options for an extended extended warranty? Any thoughts? Thanks, Marko....

Use all your window regulators all day every day

Hose the bad boy down and see for any leaks in the sunroof, if equipped. Have your brakes checked out and measured for thickness.

Get a Coolant and Brake fluid flush if not yet done... They're due 4yrs from prouduction date.

Have them check the brake rotors & pads if up to spec.

Extended Warranty

You definitely want to get an extended warranty. I tell all my friends and clients who have purchased expensive vehicles to invest in one. The use of it far outweighs the cost of the warranty.

Problems usually that hit Beamers-
1. Window Regulators
2. Thermostat & Water Pump (just complain of temp gauge randomly going to the red and suddenly coming back- they might change both, ya never know!)
3. Brake Linings
4. Hoses under hood for leaks / wear & tear
5. Get coolant & brake flushed- dont do tranny flushing
6. .......consider an extd warranty if you like....
