Since the car is still under the original warranty, you can just talk to a
local BMW dealer to have it certified as CPO. Of course it's going to
cost
money, so you have to decide if the price is worth to have that peace of
mind.
I bought a 4 year old e39 with 30k miles a while back, non CPO. In the
first year alone, I spent $5K on it. Granted, not all of it was repairs.
About half of it was maintenance which the warranty or CPO would not have
covered anyway. But still, if this car keeps breaking at this rate,
getting
an extended warranty of some sort would have been cheaper.
