I recently took my CPO 2020 M550 with 29,xxx miles on the clock, that I’ve owned for less than half a year, to a dealer for a routine service: hahaha
Due to a line, oil change and inspection was going to take a day+, so I got a free loaner: an all electric, “about 500 hp”, I guess an equivalent to an X5(?) SUV witha base price of nearly $90k. Not too shabby for treating a customer right. I felt teleported into the 22nd century when I got inside. Drove futuristically too. My 5 series felt like an Econo Lodge in comparison. Haha
But I digress. Turns out my CPO bimmer with 29k miles that I’ve owned for less than half a year needed new rear driveshaft flex disk, some friction rings/1 per corner to cure factory F up related to mating of the wheel to the hub or something, and a new front differential! They really perform and are thorough with the multipoint inspection!
If not for warranty, it would all tab at $8 grand, LOL! Diff job is $6.5 of that.
I also had a bent wheel ($250) and needed two new tires ($1,000 ). Dealer charged $250 for alignment. Had I not had the warranty, the visit would have tabbed around $10k . Mind you, I really went in expecting a glorified oil change, lol!
