My 550i will be out of warranty in a couple of weeks. Are there any known issues that I should have looked at?

Thanks!

My Dealership does a free courtesy inspection before the warranty is over. You might try that. I also paid an independent shop to do the same....just to be sure!

You have a nice Dealer!!! Towson BMW in Maryland said, "if nothing is showing up on iDrive, then there is nothing for us to do."

excessive wind noise from the sun roof and have them replace the seal. Trim is not covered in cpo... if that is your situation.

Vapor barriers for the doors.

power windows... rollers or the motors.

I would check everything that is not covered in the cpo and or if your warranty is about to expire:

bmw cpo covered items and not covered items


Upkeep Items
Maintenance; engine, transmission, and body adjustments; wheel alignment, balancing or rotation; wiper blade inserts; engine drive belts; spark plugs; filters; fuses; all batteries; all hoses and clamps (except air conditioning and power steering); oils, lubricants, fluids, refrigerants and coolants (except as required in the course of a covered repair); brake pads and rotors; brake shoes and drums; manual transmission clutch assemblies; suspension dampers (shock absorbers/strut elements); exhaust systems; tires.

Wear and Tear
All wear and tear items as defined in The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Protection Plan Consumer Information Statement (including all suspension parts and components).

Body and Interior
Paint; glass; headlamps; bulbs (except instrumentation); mirrors; lenses; body and chassis; body seals and gaskets; interior and exterior trim, moldings, and fasteners; upholstery, headliner, carpeting, floor and trunk mats; convertible top (all components except electronics); air or water leaks; wind or body noises; wheels; damage due to rust, corrosion, or contamination, except as covered by the BMW New Vehicle Rust and Corrosion Perforation Warranty.

Accessories
Radio/cassette player, telephone, navigation system, CD changer, or any components of those systems; non-original equipment parts, components or accessories.
