BMW CPO Extensions

[eogintz]

Hi Folks,

After owning my 128i for about 9 months I regret that I will be trading it in for a CPO 3 series. My wife who is the primary driver of this car, wanted all wheel drive and something just a tad larger with a somewhat usable back seat. I truly LOVE this car and have not had one problem other than battery wearing out which dealers says was due to lack of use. They replaced battery under warranty and I took their advice and use the BMW Advanced Charger at least once a week. No problems since then.

Anyway.....I located a very nice clean 328xi from a BMW dealer that is CPO for almost two more years from now. I asked the salesperson about extending the CPO since I know that Mercedes allows this and she said that I could extend it from 1-3 more years. However, she said that to extend the CPO coverage it must be done while the car is STILL under the original CPO coverage.

Before I get any more details from my salesperson I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows how this works regarding cost, coverage, etc... Would this additional 1-3 year CPO extension coverage simply be a BMW used car warranty? I appreciate any insight that you may have. I have not yet paid for or picked up the car which they just got in a couple of days ago and is undergoing the certification process.

Thanks,

Ed

Now, lets see...........The CPO stands for Crap Put Ontop. It does very little, so, go buy the car for the wife and don't worry about extending anything.
