Yes, The 4yr/50k maintenance/warranty starts from the date the original owner takes delivery of the vehicle. Example: I purchased a 2008 3.0Si from Carmax in late July of this year. The original owner took delivery in Aug 18 2008 so we are covered till Aug 18 2012 ( 2yrs left) or 50k miles (36.2k left) which ever comes first. We picked up the X5 with 13.8K miles so we have awhile as far as that is concerned. My wife will hit the time limit before the miles for sure.

Now, The original owner purchased the Ext. Maintenance (not warranty) that adds 2yr/50k more but that is NOT transferable from what I understand from the SA. When I go pick the X5 up from the dealer, I want to go over all this again with the SA as we are thinking about getting the Gold plan that Ard mentioned above.

Not to Hijack the thread, but it has been at the dealer for 4 weeks getting the sun roof fixed. We had the X5 1 out of the 5 weeks since we bought it. I'm going to post an intro thread with better pictures and go into the story more at a later time. The Carmax pix are low res. Supposedly the sunroof cassette frame part was release from Germany since there are none in the US at the other dealers. (Spartanburg) (sic) Almost 2 weeks, no show. At least they provided a 2009 328i Loaner for the wife to drive for the whole time.
