Even before that, I'm wondering if that year (or however much is left by the time the car finds a new owner) of maintenance would have transferred to a CPO anyway? I suppose there's no reason it shouldn't, but I never really thought about it before. As I say, that's water under the bridge as of mid 2014 anyway, though.

I purchased my E63 M6 with 28K miles and 2.5 years left on the original warranty. I realize that M-cars are atypical as they only comprise 3 or so percent of BMWs manufactured and have different maintenance requirements. I love driving and I drive all of my cars hard which tends to expose weaknesses and/or accelerate maintenance cycles.
With the exception of the M6, all of my BMWs were purchased/leased new. I would really have to think long and hard about another purchase/lease based on this because there is real value, from my experience, in the final 12 months/14K miles.
As an aside, when the X5 approached 50K miles, I purchased the additional maintenance and warranty plans, which have already nearly paid for themselves.
