Hey guys,
My current drive is BMW X1 xDrive (April) 2017 (FULLY MAXED OUT North America, except M package) purchased CPO in July 2020 at 22.5k miles, after the first owner's lease expired. This is my first car ever.
The original warranty is expiring next week (4/15), and on top of it is one year CPO warranty until 04/22.
I have 3 questions
1) Is CPO warranty 'exactly same' as original warranty?
2) I am planning to give it for the first service (under my ownership) at ~30k miles this weekend. I do NOT plan to give it any more (major) servicing beyond this as I am reasonably handy with my car-stuff. So I will do the oil/brake stuff myself to whatever extent possible. My question is, what all things should I get checked out finally in this last service under original warranty?
3) I wanted to ask how to start taking care of the car 'myself' (as in not being dependent on the servicing). To elaborate, I know 'HOW' to do things myself but I am asking for 'WHAT' things to do? This question is vague so perhaps I will open another thread for #3 sometime else.
Thanks for all your responses!
Cpo is not the same as the original warranty, we would do this thing we called warranty search, we would inspect the car and then let the customer know if we found items that we thought would be covered under warranty. Then the key to getting bmw to take a look, you can’t say another shop found these items, you have to make up a story like if the valve cover was leaking a bit you would say after I turn off the car in the garage after sitting a bit there is the odd burning smell or if the thrust rod bushings were leaking you would say when I brake at parking lot speeds I feel is slight shake or wiggle from the front of the car. You have to create a story. Or if there was a coolant leak and there were white stains or crusty build up, I was adding some engine oil and while looking around the engine are I noticed this, change the oil every 5k, spark plugs when there due, change the trans fluid and filter at 60k and open the hood and look around regularly
