[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Proceed with caution with the Germans. They're great cars, but you need to know what you're getting into if owning out of warranty. That's not to say you shouldn't, but it's important to be aware of the ongoing maintenance and repair costs, and to find a trusted mechanic. BMW used to have excellent extended warranty coverage for its certified pre-owned fleet, but that's been pared back quite a bit in recent few years, such that their CPOs aren't the value proposition they once were. If purchasing a CPO from a dealer, you might be able to negotiate an extended warranty, but they can be pricey. Alternatively, there are number of reputable third party extended warranties you can purchase that get good reviews -- Route 66 generally gets positive reviews on the BMW forums. There are others; make sure to read the fine print re: coverage, and know how to submit a claim.[/quote] Why are they "great cars" if they need so much $$$ maintenance?[/quote]
