If you only drive 10k a year...it may not be worth it to buy the extended maintenance. Also, once you buy the car get friednly with your service advisor. They can change your brakes within 4ooo miles of when the idrive says to...but usually at the discretion of your SA...tha guy is a total douchebag and was trying to make his quota. Really, you should call BMW NA not just the dealer management...that will light a fire under his ass.

My Ride: 08' 550i
here's what i did...my car had 27k miles...it's a 08...after Negotiation...i was wondering about the service plan..they were selling it for $1695 which adds 2 years of service my car was cpo so i was covered until 2013 anyway but that didn't include maintainence...the finance person told me not to get the maintainance package because she said u can buy it later when ure close to 50k miles...she said that the sales ppl will tell u that u have to get it at signing but that's not true..she also said that BMW could in future extend their maintainance package and extend it 5 or 6 year and 100k miles...i didn't know what to do either...i figured if i'm spending this much money on the car what's $1695 extra..also the dealer could and might raise the price if u wait and get it towards the end of 50k miles...

Don't sign anything until you are 100% sure you are covered.
This is how it works:
The car is under the new car warranty from the date it was put in service until 4 years from that date or 50,000 miles. Which ever comes first.
If the car is CPO then you should get the remaining years for the new car warranty (06-will bring you to 09 assuming it was put in service in 05) and then the CPO warranty kicks in for another 2 years or 100,000 miles which ever comes first. If you plan on keeping the car then buying an extended warranty on top of your CPO warranty is a good idea because these car are extremely expensive to fix.
If I were you I would not worry about the maintenance being covered. Usually it is not on a CPO but the other major components are electric-engine-transmission the most important and expensive parts for the car.
Good luck and be vigilant when dealing with these people. Hey a little digital recorder in your pocket while discussing the terms never hurts and make sure you mention time and date in the recording.

My main concern was not the warranty as I know that a CPO will provide atleast an additional two years. What I am concerned about is if the warranty gets voided simply b/c i found a better shop to do my maintenance. I definitely will consider the extended service on top of the CPO, but am afraid that they will void it and my money will go to waste!BTW is there a certain name for this coverage or is it just "extended coverage" how much is it and is it negotiable?

Oil, brakes, tires that type of maintenance only comes with new cars not CPO. The only problem you'll have is if you get your brakes done somewhere else and the brake light lights up in the dash. You'll need someone with access to the computer they use to turn the error message off. Other than that there should be no other major reason for you to take the car somewhere else other than BMW.

OP- you posted:
Powertrain warranty? That was not mentioned, but definitely would sound like something I may be interested in. I'll look more into it.
The CPO warranty covers powertrain. If you are still under the 4 yr 50,000 mile warranty everything should be covered anyway.
I called BMW NA Customer relations and was assured that the TCU and Idrive would be covered if it is faulty under CPO. Only way it would not be would be because of abuse or use of a phone that is not recommended ( as far as the TCU) and the Idrive would be covered unless you smashed the screen, poured water in it, or wore the access button down, etc- wear and tear.
Do not understand why you are even worrying about those items under Bumper to Bumper
Sounds like you have a crooked dealership................

Since you actually got to speak to somebody (would you happen to still have the number?) did you ask them about outside maintenance?
I wouldn't want to go on a limb and say the dealership is crooked, but probably the finance guy....anyways thats their problem....I am a little glad that it was brought up, now I understand it much better.

I do not think that is correct about the Idrive and TCU not being covered by the CPO

Also, while I was there the guy also mentioned that I will have a major service at 50K, 55K, 65, which will total to about $7800....what are those services? Again it was mentioned that I HAVE to do them or warranty was out the door.

I read that as well but that would contradict what martini525 said and he actually spoke to a representative.
