    535d common issues - time sensitive

    Hello friends, i am pulling the trigger on a 2014 535d today and before i purchase An extended warranty (factory expired last month) i wanted To check and see if my research missed any common issues i may want to get covered.

    Being a diesel i know The longevity of the motor will be there but in research i have found :
    1) turbos (not very common at all)
    2) cooling system (not very common)
    3) diesel particulate filter (not common but a 4K item)
    4)high pressure fuel pump (more common)

    Did i miss anything and or are my occurrences off?

    Thanks

    when I looked through all the service bulletins the other daythere were a lot regarding the fuel injectors and delivery system.

    i believe you can ensure longer life on the turbos by monitoring oil usage and better protecting the cooling lines for the turbos. There is a PN for those ($100)

    Thanks .
    I was about to go with an autopom warranty but carmax has a great warranty program. 4K for 125,000 Miles and it seems to cover just about everything.
