Warranty Question?

[kevnmurphy]

I am currently looking at a 4.4 with a warranty that covers everything until 2/2008. Since the car has 72,000 miles on it, could I take it in for an Inspection II @ 80,000 miles and tell them to fix everything wrong with it? I guess another way of asking this questions is = Can I take it in 01/2008 and tell them to fix everything or be specific and say the CV boots, belts, tranny, etc...?
I am unfamiliar about warranties, but my guess is that something has to break to be fixed and that you can't just say "fix it"

Thanks in advance.

You could do that, but since you are not under original warranty, you will most likely have to pay a detuctible.

KM,
Who/what co. is the extended warr coverage written by?
BMW CPO? Other(s)?

Do you have the Maintenance Plan as well as the CPO?

CPO will not cover your inspection II, CV boots, belts, etc.. Maint plan will.

Thanks for the info.

It is a CPO. The cars original warranty was a 5 year / 100,000 mile.

I am going to do a search right now about extended warranties, but if you have any quick links I would appreciate it. They offered me 4 year / 48,000 mile for 2700 bucks. That seems a bit high, but it covers electrical / mechanical.

Thanks again guys.

kevn,
Slightly confused here, even though I think I know the warr.
details pretty well...from your info, the CPO warr already "on"
the car you are looking at, runs until Feb of next year or 28K
miles from delivery. Not a long time frame in either situ.

The "4 year / 48,000 mile for 2700 bucks" sounds like an extended
maintenance program offered by BMW. If so, that covers service,
maintenance, wear, expendable items, oil changes, etc. It does
not cover warranty items. I know this is teeth grinding stuff; BMW
does it on purpose, I'm convinced.

Back to that CPO Warr.: it covers lots of stuff, but not everything like
the original warranty does...and, the clock is ticking on that coverage.
Some stlrs charge the $50 deductible on each CPO warr. take-in trip,
some don't. Stlr should give you a detailed list of coverages and
exclusions...it is also on BMW NA site, in detail.

As for taking car in and saying "fix it", it won't happen unless the Stlr
is your brother or dad.

Remember CPO is warranty repairs, but not as smooth or complete
coverage as original warr. And, "Maintinance coverage" is for
service, wear items, non-warr. items, etc. They are 2 different
species.

Hope this helps,
GL,mD

So if I'm understanding your definition of extended maintenance, it includes wear items (i.e. belts, hoses, brake pads, rotors, etc) and oil changes. The extended warranty would cover mechanical repairs.

Are the BMW extended maintenance/ warranty plans available to all X5 owners or do the acceptable vehicles have to meet certain mileage/build year restrictions? Thanks.

The only way you can get a BMW covered vehicle that is in excess of 4yr/50K original warranty is to buy a CPO vehicle.

If you are an ORIGINAL owner and are still under the original factory warranty you can purchase the CPO warranty and extended maintenance package.

As for telling a dealer what you want replaced, good luck with that. They will need to see a reason to have the part replaced.
