Just to make sure we're on the same page.
BMW is hoping people think their CPO means 5 years/unlimited miles or 6 years/unlimited miles (if pay extra).
Yes, it's 5 total years (or 6 years if paid extra) from original in service date, but the unlimited miles part is only for 1 year though or up to 2 years if you pay extra. The CPO unlimited miles only starts once your new car 48 months/50,000 miles (whichever comes first) is up. So it's really only unlimited miles once your regular new car warranty expires and that would begin on the 1st day of the 49th month or when the car hits 50,001 miles and then only lasts for 1 year or up to 2 if you pay extra.
Most people aren't putting more than 15,000 miles on a car in 1 year or 30,000 miles on a car in 2 years so the CPO say for me for example, If I got one (I drive 12k miles/year), would be 1 year/12k miles or 2 years/24k miles which is what BMW is hoping for (that you don't drive it more than the average 15k/year). But it sounds far better to tell people, "Our CPO program is 1 year/unlimited miles or 2 year/unlimited miles."
