Is it better to hit warranty mileage limit before warranty time limit?
I was wondering if its better to drive up to your warranty mileage so that if something occurs, bmw will cover it or not? I don't drive much mileage on my x3 and use my other car for work commute and x3 for weekend hikes, dates, etc (or sometimes weekdays too). And wondering if I'm way below the mileage for warranty and it expires, I'll be stuck with paying for parts that will break down and can get pricey. But if i drive the car more the common parts that break down will be covered. I can go either route but wondering does it matter much? What parts usually need to be fixed in beginning usually? I have about 2 years warranty left and 34k miles. I'm estimating around 6-7k a year on x3 if I currently do what I'm doing

I don’t think driving more will get you anything other than a bigger gas bill. If you are worried about the warranty, you could buy an extended warranty. You can do this anytime before the original warranty expires.

So guess its safe to drive my low miles and add extended warranty. But it wont cover something like turbo engine going out etc right. Just not sure what usually go out first and whats the common parts that breakdown. Not sure why bmw warranty is bit low mileage though. Remember hyundai was loke 100k 10 year or something whoa |

I would see how your X3 behaves under warranty. If you had little or no problems I would skip the extended warranty. It costs a little more to buy the warranty later (near the end of the factory warranty) but I think waiting is worth it. |
