monto is on a distinguished road
Last visit prior to factory warranty expiring

I'm within 500 miles of my 50,000 mile warranty expiring. I've already decided against purchasing the extended warranty and maintenance based on the opinions I have read on the forum. I made an appointment for tomorrow to have them check on a few nitpick things, wiper alignment, load rear wiper motor, but wanted any suggestions on things that would be good for them to look at. It's my understanding that I have to bring things to their attention versus them finding somethingt to fix under warranty so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I found a pretty good list, below, after some searching.

A bit about my E70; I drove my 50,000 miles in only 20 months. I do 90% highway driving and am not a spirited driver. Over this period I have had no issues and have only been to the dealer for service visits.

Things to check/replace during the factory warranty period.

1) Tension Strut Bushings, if never been performed, complaint would be clunking when braking.
2) Check all Grab Handles inside the vehicle for pealing.
3) Check all woodtrim for cracks
4) Check CD/Player, Navigation System, Speakers
5) Check Seat Belt Labels for cracks
6) Check all Interior Covers, A-B-C-D pillars for cover material pealing off
7) Check battery( if original, just complain that you had to jump start the car a couple of times )
8) Check all non-xenon bulbs for proper operation
9) Check Coolant upper and lower radiator hoses for leaks.
10) Check seat leather stitching for looseness.
11) Check Steering Wheel Airbag Emblem for etching.
12) Check Hood Roundel for flaking.

Best,
monto
