well an aftermarket warranty wouldn't cover maint stuff like brake pads anyway..

I don't mind seeing the mileage warning - and I don't mind if it's time to replace them either. I was just curious if this estimate was accurate. Sounds like it may not necessarily be so..

True, I don't think anyone here waits until 15K to change their oil either. So it might be a good idea to check them or get them checked - just in case.

Mine did, when I bought my car I didn't add the extended maint, but I am still covered every time I have been to the dealer. According to them I have maint until 6 years from the "in service date" which in my case is 03/2011

Oh wow thats nice... I wonder if the original owner bought the extended maintenance or if the dealer who did the CPO added the maintenance along with CPO

My Ride: (USA) 645Ci, Silver Gray, Chateau, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, Sport PKG, Step, NAV [Std Equip in 645], HUD, Satellite (SIRIUS) Radio, Aux Input, Bluetooth enabled using iPhone 3GS w/ adapter cradle - Build date - 01/05, Baby delivered 2/24/05

I guess I won't get a free brake change. Rears at 90K miles and idrive says 44k left, which I believe based on the last inspection at BMW (11-12mm). Have to be under 7.5 mm to have a chance at changing. What are the brakes for again?

I did have front padss replaced when the rotors warped but only for that reason, at 80k miles.
