Warranty Expires Soon. Inspection Recommendations.

jagman · 10-04-2012, 02:05 PM

I recently purchased my 08 E92 M3 and the warranty expires at the end of this month. A local, fellow BMW owner recommended having his CA do an inspection on my car prior to the warranty expiring. His CA happens to look the other way when it comes to mods so I set up the inspection for next Tuesday morning. I've been searching for a thread with recommended checks but for the life of me cannot find it. Please recommend specific things I should have him target or point me to a place where I can do my own research. Thank you in advance.

try to get them to check your rear differential bolts. if needed you can say you have been hearing a rattle from the back end and are concerned. I took mine in and got the SA to change rear differential fluid, brake fluid, pads, oil change, cabin filters, wiper blades, and do a diagnostic.

I should have mentioned this is just the factory limited warranty. The routine maintenance portion conveniently expired a month before I got the car. The limited warranty was extended due to the original owner being a BMW executive.
