2005 E53 4.4i - 46,000 Miles - Out of Warranty Prep Questions



My X is about to go out of warranty. I have three green bars in my service display so it doesn't look like I'll get another major service done before it clicks over to 50,000 miles and Out of Warranty.

I have already had my front brakes done and am anxiously waiting for the message for my back brakes to come up before 50K...

I plan to keep it for 100K miles.

Here are the three questions:
1) Is there anything I should push for before my 50K mileage mark?
2) Should I buy the maintenance program that covers regular maintenance until 100K? If so, at what price?
3) Should I buy an extended warranty or CPO it until 100K? If so, at what price?

Thanks!
Chris

Your dealer may still give your X5 free service before 50k. If you have good relation with them, they would please you. If you plan to keep till 100k then get the extended warranty and maintenence.

See my other post on my experience today. My last two rear brake jobs (both covered during extended 6 year maintenence) did not trigger the brake light. Only the fronts did.

Personally, the extended maintenence and warranty is a bargain for these cars.
