CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) warranty.

[x01235x]

I've been owning my '07 E70 since it was a new and the mileage is about to hit 50k already. how are the extended warranty and CPO warranty different? I'm curious about a maintenance warranty as well. What should I buy before my current warranty expires. Some people mentioned about the third party warranty companies to get it at lower cost. I AM CONFUSED!!!

i don't believe you can get a CPO if you already own the car. unless you sold it and bought it back.

CPO is 6 years or 100k miles from original in service date.

The OOP, or O2P is still being offered, I believe. It is a similar or nearly identical verison of CPO,
offered to orig. owners. If you GOOG it you will see pages of BMW dlrs offering the program, via
credit card/call in, on the net.

From memory, its structure is nearly identical with CPO, but both warranty coverages are not quite
as encompassing as the orig/oem warranty. Neither should be confused with Extended Maintenance.

A 3rd party extended warranty will vary by the company, the underwriter, the whim of the servicing dlr, etc.

I think the BMW extended warranty and CPO are the same. I have the extended warranty but whenever I take it in for service they refer to it as a CPO.
