I've got a CPO 435i, the factory warranty and maintenance plan runs out in about a month. I'm at 4 years and 34k miles. I believe the car got new brake pads at some point in its life, both front and year show 20k+ remaining.

I have the extended CPO for 2 more years, but I know coverage is better in the first 4, plus considering some mods soon so my trips to the dealer may be less frequent. My local dealer has been ok but not great about finding or fixing 'minor' items.

My big question is the maint plan - other than the oil change which is due, what else can I expect/ask BMW to do before the maintenance plan expires? Any other suggestions for things to have them look into?

Maybe get wiper blades replaced and new key fob battery. Also check the brakes and new engine and cabin air filters and check coolant.

If you have any squeaks or rattles get then sorted as the extension, certainly in the uk is not covered.

Good point - I haven't had great luck with this dealer and things like that. They've been very responsive for "this is broken" but not so much for "this seems like it could be better."

Similarly, I'd be happy to pay them $200 or something if I thought they would actually go out of their way to look for things that should get replaced, but not been my experience that they'd actually do anything other than take my $200. And as I'm writing that I'm thinking maybe I should try the dealer that's 30 mins away instead.

I have to hand it to my dealer (Sewell in Grapevine). I took in a laundry list of items/concerns that they diagnosed/replaced/repaired. My warranty ended on APR/02.

Oil change but I wasn’t due per the CBS
Replaced gas cap as the tether was broken
Replaced both key fob batteries
Replaced windshield wiper blades
Replaced front brake pads (4mm left)
Brake fluid service
Idrive controller (a piece of the silver ring under the plastic had broken off) replaced
Rubbing noise increasing with speed on left front (speed sensor wire rubbing and was replaced)
A/C blower motor replaced as it squeaked occasionally. I mentioned on my list and it was replaced.

I had 35k mikes when I took it in for the last warranty service. Sadly however my outside temp sensor failed just today but I think I can get this replaced under good will...doesn’t hurt to ask?

Really impressed with Sewell. They have always treated me/my vehicle with respect and addressed all of my concerns. Can’t say the same for the dealership west of the metroplex.
