I have a 2012 BMW 320i that has approximately 40,000km (25,000 miles). The factory warranty will run out in 2 months.

The vehicle has had it's annual oil changes and scheduled inspections performed and all recalls have been completed. I also had the dealer do a brake fluid flush, tire rotation and 4 wheel alignment at my expense.

Is there anything I should ask the dealer to do while the vehicle is still under warranty? Should I have an independent inspection done to see if they find anything and then bring it to the dealer's attention?

Thank you

My warranty expires in July. This is exactly what I plan to get done....go to a trusted indy garage and get it inspected, then go back to the dealership with all the faults that they find (if they find any) and get them rectified under warranty.

I think that makes a lot of sense considering how little an inspection costs. I wish I can have a list of known trouble spots (if any) that would give some guidance/insight to share with the person performing the inspection to be better prepared.

I would just go through the manual to see what is covered under warranty and then ask them to inspect all of those items.
