last service before warranty expired. any tips?

[naif63]

Quick questionMy car's warranty expires after 2 months and this will be my last service with stealership, is there anything I should bring up and ask them to check before its too late? anything I should ask them to check up or make excuse so they would at least look/fix any of the common issues.

thanks

Ask them to check everything.
They will like finding something they can replace, since they charge BMW for replacing it under warranty.

Pay for an extension on your warranty? Or get one of the independent warranties.

On a serious note, especially if you have a low mileage car, is to ask them to check the inlet manifold and the fuel pumps for carbon buildup. Also a DPF check if you run a diesel car. These are usually reported as drivetrain malfunctions.

The car is generally quite reliable. I had a problem with the electric sunroof not shutting properly. But that could be a one-off. I find what triggers it is when I lean into the car to close the sunroof (with the key in my trouser pocket outside the car). Weird.

Make sure you bring the car in and complain about anything unusual: noises, buzzes, beeps.

This way if something related to the unusual report after the warranty expires you can claim you advised the dealer about it while it was under warranty.

This could extend your warranty for the indicated items.
