In Reply to: Factory Warranty on Used 740i posted by mark on February 18, 2001 at 00:52:44:

Regardless, I would not buy it without taking it to a BMW dealer for a complete checkout, especially using the diagnostic computer. The things you mention are probably not covered by warranty anyway, but these are peanuts compared to the things the dealer could check for. Losing the books is suspicious, as they should stay in the glove compartment.
Its a wonderful car, and could be a great deal. Its just too complicated for the average shop.
Good luck!

E38 Board;

I am looking at the purchase of a previously owned 740i. Car has approximately 40,000 miles but has no books included with vehicle. This is not a BMW dealer and dealer says that when he bought car from PO they had lost books.

Is there any problem getting this vehicle serviced under the factory warranty with no books??? Where can I get new books (owners manual, service and any other items that came with car- leather case, etc)

A couple of items that currently need repair (minor) button on radio falling off - front cup holder broken. Are these items covered under warranty???

When aftermarket wheels are added to car, does this void any warranty??

Any feedback would be appreciated.
