My Ride: 09 M5 (E60) Interlagos blue, Silverstone interior, with cold weather package. Adaptive Xenon headlamps and adaptive brake lights, hud, comfort access. Comfort seats, basically fully loaded.
So i thought i'd take my car in for the service. I was told by the SA that my car was out of warranty. I told him that i had CPO on the car, and i was told that he didn't see anything in their record as such. 
I called bmw of Greenwich, the dealer that had told me a few months ago that i had CPO warranty on my car when i was thinkin of trading this 06 w/ a newer one w/ warranty. Then i had called Rayllees bmw and was told that i had warranty also. I was so happy and had posted all that on here. If anyone remembers 
Anyway now i called all those dealers back and was told that they dun see any CPO. I am so angry that how come did 2 different dealers had told me that i had CPO warranty on this car and they are all denying it now. I can't even find a decent looking combo m5 anymore.. as not much are available at this time. I can never hang on to this car if it is out of warranty. I dun trust third party warranties.
Plus i just ended up, just yesterday ordering mods from Nerweezy.. This sucks man.

That's f'cked up Kevin. Who did you buy your car from? Any paperwork or past work done on your car? Sorry to hear about your situation, but if you do decide to get a warranty, try looking into Easy Care. That's what I have and also other members on here as well. I hope you find your evidence to prove your CPO. GL man.

guys back in the days when i bought the car. I knew that it wasn't a CPO. After buying it i found out that it was. When i called a sales person at bmw of greenwich in CT to buy another newer m5 from them that still had warranty, i told them that i wanted to tradein my car and was told later that day that my car already had CPO warranty. She repeated twice that i had it and i did not had to purchase another one for that reason. I went crazy, later that day i confirmed from Raylless bmw also and was told the same. My big mistake that i should have had them send me the paper work then.
But now all the sudden it is gone. No one knows what i am talking about when i called Greenwich. Ofcourse if i had bought it a CPO i'd def wud have asked for the paper work.

I had a similar situation. When I got my car, I called BMW NA to see what my in service date was, so I would know when my factory warranty was up. The rep asked for the last 7 of my VIN (which I read off of a document I had in front of me). After she confirmed my model and year, she gave me the in service date followed by "and then you have the CPO warranty good for 2 more years".igits of my VIN.
After jumping for joy multiple times, I still was in shock so I double checked again. This time I went out and took the last 7 off the vehicle itself and not the document I had in front of me. Well thats when I noticed that the document I referenced earlier had a 9 in it, when in reality this was an 8. User error on my part
As expected I have no CPO warranty, I did have one additional month from my factory warranty than I though. I guess I really only lost 23 months
Its amazing what one measly digit can do.
Good luck to you and your situation.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
There's a good reason to buy a CPO ONLY from a BMW dealer, they give you the documentation. If you bought it and knew it wasn't CPO, then no matter what the dealer said it isn't. Unless they could give you CPO warranty paperwork with your car's VIN on it then it isn't and wasn't CPO. Sorry, but lesson learned

Thats a bummer man... forsure those BMW dealers can be sneaky.
My 06' went out of warranty early this year, and i was contemplating a 3rd party warranty and weighing my options. You say that you would never hold onto this car without a warranty... is that because you cannot afford the upkeep (if needed), or? I looked into the 3rd party warranties, and with the ones that were offered, it seemed that there were some unknowns that really turned me for a loop. The question about the clutch being covered was something I could not get a straight answer on, and was the main reason I wanted coverage. They reserved the right to buy used parts, and in every case I would have to pay for it to be fixed, and then consult with them for reimbursement. It was over $4k for the warranty, and i figured with how I baby my car, Im hoping there will be no problems (knock on wood I havent had any issues yet)32,000kms.
Sorry to hear about your CPO issues.. but are you seriously going to get rid of your car because it no longer is covered?
Cheers,
Aartsy
