hahaha ya-surely they will change everything for you since you are hitting warranty-it doesnt matter if a service advisor wanted to do it for you-it needs to be approved by bmw and only GOODWILL will allow you early change on any maintence issues-this takes a service manager getting approval from a distric manager-so its cool you have a "cool young SA" but he wont be able to do squat.
I would focus on things that you notice-creaking seats, chipped interior, hoses cracked, funny engine sounds-they have to be complaint based.
wow how naive are owners!
Hmmm yes-I will take 4 new brakes, discs, oil change, diff change, a balance and a detail please-and make it quick I only have 1k before warranty ends! hahahaha

GL with getting them to get it done. I was at 49k and my SA was able to get a few services in before it was up. All depends on what is approved though.

Definitely see if an extended warranty is within your budget. I've had about $3K worth of work done that the warranty company has picked up. Pretty good for a $2K warranty. And I still have 50K miles til it expires too!

Mention you have a leak under the car that you cannot identify. This will allow the tech to be able to look and hopefully repair any leaks under warranty. Most dealers get their hands slap pretty hard for up selling warranty even if the problem is obvious to them but not reported by the customer, if you mention it they have to look at it. And if it is warrantable, they will fix it.
Check the interior panels for peeling paint like by the switches some dealers will warranty them.
I wonder if mentioning you have a slow Idrive or glitches with it would allow you to get a software update?
