NOW, when that time comes, YOUR CPO STARTS for 1 year and unlimited miles.(Used to be 2 years and up to 100,000miles whichever came first) CPO warranty is LIMITED vs the NEW CAR WARRANTY. It really isn't that hard to understand. SMH

Reading is fundamental. Unfortunately BMW has contradicting info on their website.
The CURRENT CPO (changed last year) actually extend the EW out to 60 months (5 Years).
The CPO can run over 12 months IF THE CAR IS CERTIFIED (Inspected) prior to the expiration of the 4 Year/50,000 mike Warranty. See the above for sliding under the wire.
I say currently as there is thought that this was not what BMW intended, but just as people look for loopholes once tax law is passed, this appears to be a loophole found in the new CPO policy.
As you stated, The original warranty can expire early if 50,000 miles are reached prior to the 48th month. However, the CPO will kick in then through the 60th month (if car was CPO’d prior to 50,000 miles), However, unlike you stated (as I did originally)the CPO currently can last several years, depending on when the car hits 50,000 miles.
Actually, the CPO could last longer than 60 months after in service date if car is sold as CPO after 4 Year/50,000 mile Warranty has expired. The CPO will kick in for an additional 12 months.
The CPO is a far different thing from the Original Warranty, as you noted.
As most know the CPO requires a deductible PER INCIDENT, not per service. So don’t think I’ll just save them up and do them at the same time to save money.
And it is far more limited in nature than the Original Warranty (cosmetics and any maintenance items are not covered).
You can SMH all you want, but BMW has contradictory info currently on their website and getting the correct answer with all the correct details isn’t easy sailing.....as I witnessed first hand. There are gotchas all along the way.
