8K miles until warranty expiration, anything I should have checked out?

trilltx · 07-09-2018, 09:58 AM

Recently purchased a used 435I, and apparently I have about 8K miles until the factory warranty runs out. Anything I should have the dealership check for before then? Not having any issues, but better safe than sorry.

I heard you should get your injectors checked.

I see these threads pop up periodically... why would a dealer check out anything on your car (especially for free) unless you were having issues? What do people do, walk in and say hey there's nothing wrong with my car but take it apart and try to find a problem that doesn't exist... oh and don't charge me for wasting your time. Oh gimme a loaner too...
lol sorry I'm sure the OP had the best intentions I just don't see that you'll get them to do something unless you are having issues.

BMW won't check your car for you if you can't provide them with a reason to. Even some dealerships' "Free inspections" won't really do much as they only inspect what they can see on the surface (engine oil level, brake pads, tire tread, etc.).

Realistically though you could always make up stuff that you think is wrong with your car and have them thoroughly check that specific component.

Since there is nothing wrong that you know of,I would pay to have it inspected. Pay for 45 minutes for more then the usual cursory. There are certainly things they could look for. Suspension or leaks. As for you,I’d check all the switches and doors and windows that you may not use very much.
Not unlike what you would do if you were buying the car.

Spray oil all over the turbo and ask if it's okay.
