When a CPO vehicle comes in for maintenance they have rules. Mercedes: If it's 60 percent worn ; replace it. BMW: If it's 40 percent worn on the; let it go. Anyone have a BWM neighbor who can verify??? Anyone??? JRT,

CPO kicks in at 50K miles or after expiration date of original Manufacturer warranty. CPO does not include maintenance (brake pads). You said: “had 46k when i drove it home”

Ther is NO required reinspection before selling car again. So as the woman on the phone said all I can do is ask dealer to inspect bring upto spec or walk away. This is a RIP OFF, and totally misleading representation. I just verified with BMW Corp office that a CPO lasts for the 2 yr 50 K from the time it is originally inspected.

What is the factory warranty on new vs CPO? I am looking to get an '07 x5 and I assumed I would be getting CPO as I intend to keep it for at least 3-5 years. What is the savviest strategy when it comes to coverage? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. It’s great hearing everyone’s feedback but still a little confused regarding CPO coverage.

I'm considering buying a 1 series from a non BMW dealer, so I checked up with BMW if I could purchase extended warranty for 2 yrs / 50,000mi. I was informed that the maintenance for additional 2 yrs would cost me $2095 and $ service for 2 additional years would cost me $2500. Is it possible to purchase these extended plans if I'm going to be the second owner for the car. Looking for some input form all you. Thank you in advance Guys,

To be honest, I leased my car and then technically sold it back to BMW and had it CPO'd then repurchased it immediately. So, that route worked for me but I would recommend contacting other dealers in the area to see if they're willing to work with you. Harold – I don’t know if that’s the case.

The car passed btw, but I thought it would given the care I take. The entire process felt rigorous and honest. If you are locked in on getting a stretch 7 it's probably just now coming off the standard warranty the car was issued with. Ask your dealer what warranties they recc. And do some research on your own. Also, approximate how long you'll have the car..eg, why buy a year warranty when you can save a bit of money on a 3 year. BMW's are reliable...some models like the E46 are almost bulletproof in regards to longevity and build quality. Commonsense is going to get you a great car.
