I'm going for the last warranty service tomorrow (49xxx miles on the car) and I was wondering if there is anything I need to have them look at for my piece of mind.
There is nothing really wrong with the car, but I have a great SA, so please post if you have any suggestions.

I wish I could say more for my SA. Total idiot.

Also, I would wager that even if something was wrong, they wouldn't fix it AND/OR cover it up just to save cost. They will NEVER upsell warranty work.

Well, after so many BMWs, he knows me and my cars really well. He is a good guy.
Still looking for suggestions folks, please post.

How about microfilter? If you haven't had that changed yet?

Me too! My warranty runs out on the 29th of September and I want to get maximum value with the warranty. I just had the oil changed, microfilter changed and brake fluid flushed. Anything else I should do before the 29th just because I can?

tell him to kinda pay some close attention to control arms and the alternator. Get an updated s/w, if you don't have it yet. I've heard of people getting their cars inspected by an indie before the last service...

Check the trim around windows and doors, esp. around the rear window. Check for squeks and rattles, esp. around door seals. Check all functions, esp. the ones that you do not use often (heated seats, ect.) Good luck.

How can I get an updated software? When I asked about it, they told me they could do it, but I will have to pay for it since there is nothing really wrong with my current software.

This is a great post, it should be stickied since we're all gonna go thru this at some point!

I would have them check your brake pads and have them replaced if necessary.
