Hi everyone.

I'm planning to get a 535xi sometime this coming week and I found two of them. I have a few questions, what are the benefits of buying a CPO? it said it gets 6yr/100,000 warranty. If i'm correct, it includes the original 4yr/50,000. So, does the last 2 yr/50,000 mile get the same exact warranty as the factory?
I'm still torn between the good 0.9% APR vs the free maintenance. I have never owned a BMW before. Was always an acura person.

Is there anything I should check before purchasing? Thank you, guys.

Cpo is an extened warranty and does not cover everything the orignal factory warranty covers...I personally would never buy one with out the warranty...Only thing to look out on the 535 is the fuel pump issue...If you search there is tons of info on that...Other than that, its a great car! You'll love it!Oh and yes its 4year/50k miles then the cpo is additional 2years/100,000 miles...

BMWs can be expensive to maintain. I would buy one with CPO. Ask the BMW Center for a copy of the CPO warranty to see what is covered and what is not. Original warranty is bumper-to-bumper and includes regular service items (wipers, oil changes, etc.) but not tires. The high-pressure fuel pump is now warranted for certain 2007, 2008 models for up to 10 years / 120,000 miles.

Thank you! I'm looking at an 08. I'll take some pics when I get it.
