General question for anybody with experience with BMW's Certified Pre-Owned system.
Earlier this year I bought a certified pre-owned F30 328i. I commute a significant distance currently and am now past the factory 50k service plan as well as being into the post 50k CPO warranty. I love the car but am not so much a fan of the dealers. I'm itching to start utilizing an independent BMW shop with actual reputable mechanics. The thing I'm leery of is voiding my CPO warranty, in case something actually bad happens during the next 50k. The internet tells me that according to the "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act" this would be a violation of federal law, but I still don't trust BMW necessarily.
Anybody have experience taking their CPO cars elsewhere?
