2008, N54, pre-LCI. Still on its original suspension and transmission, but the BMW warranty has been a life-saver, several times over. smile

It feel like it will go on for another 100k miles. Getting a little 'creaky' now, but that's expected.

What exactly did you need warranty for? HPFP/Injectors/NOx sensors?

thats good to hear OP, my 2007 e91 6MT is 156k and still sweet. Not needed the warranty much recently but it does give peace off mind. I think I'll keep it another 12 months, only had it 12 years so still early days.

Good stuff, however I suspect all your dampers will be very worn out. (Based on removing 95k dampers from my 2009 335d which had just passed a main dealer MOT with no suspension advisories).

Main ones - turbos replaced twice (would have been expensive!!), water pump, whole fuel system (front to back), alternator, couple of small engine oil leaks, a few other things. The warranty has paid for itself many times over.

However, in the last 2 years - nothing has gone wrong. smile

My last full service was done by K&M Autotechnic in Windsor. Asked them to look at the steering suspension too, due to the occasional creaks. They said that nothing needs to be replaced at the moment. smile
