CPO Coverage. $50 charge after 80,000km or 48,000miles?

Had the X in for replacement of the air pump. They handed me a bill for $50 + $40 in shop supplies. Service guy said on CPOs after 80,000km BMW charges a deductible. I refused to pay it and this morning had a look through my documents from purchasing. The only reference I can find is that a "BMW authorized retailer may charge a $50 handling fee, made payable to the BMW retailer, for handling warranty work." Now, that isn't BMW charging $50 for warranty work as I read it, anyone have any insight to share?

Thx

I'm charged $50 every time I bring my X5 in for CPO repairs. I never read the fine print and thought the charge to be standard. I'll dig out my contact and see if the $50 charge is legitimate.

I think it depends on the dealer. I purposefully take my cars to a dealer about 20 or so miles away (who never charges the $50) versus one just 2 miles down the road from me - who always charges.

thanks. Just needed the opinions. It's apparent that it is in fact a dealer charge, and not a BMW charge.

Hmm... Mine charges 50. But considering that repairs range in the hundreds of dollars. I'm not complaining.
