OP, I can share my experience having just gone through the process of purchasing a 2017 CPO in the same general market and with similar miles (22K).
It's a manual GTS, but certainly close enough for these purposes.

When I completed the buy last month, the dealer handed me a receipt for services completed. The total was $6800. Including:
40K service $2750
Plugs $1050
Total service items $3800

Battery $850
Replace front spoiler $1050
CPO Inspection $750
Detail $300

They also replaced the front clip's PPF, but I don't have any paper for that.

The only thing that has come up so far is a (mostly) in-op Targa wind deflector on the windshield header.

If it has Porsche, dynamic chassis control (PDCC) that unit (reservoir / pump / filter) is supposed to be replaced every six years

If it’s any consolation, BMW seems to be doing their darndest to catch up with Porsche in terms of service costs. At part of my recent 60K service, the BMW dealer charged 1600$(!) to change 8 spark plugs . The Porsche dealer 2+years ago “only” charged around 1k for spark plugs as part of the 4yr service. Of course that was before 7% inflation hit…

It's interesting that they provided a detailed cost breakdown.

When I picked up CPO car last month, they provided an itemized work order but everything was flagged as N/C
Mine is a 2018 C2S with only 5750 Kms on it.

Work completed;
- CPO insp.
- the front lip (damage not apparent when looking at the car)
- a set of new tires (age)
- alignment
- spark plugs
- brake fluid
- all filters
- & usual annual items

I wonder what that cost would be if they were charging it out to the customer??

The only thing that they didn't do is the serpentine, which still has a year to go.

I hope to get a price breakdown when I pick the car up next week. I'll update this thread with that info just for kicks.

Oh wow, you’re in Argentina then? 7% inflation sounds tough.

Just picked up the car. Dealer had it for 4 days. Replaced serpentine belt, spark plugs, did 40K service (at 28K miles) AND on test drive had a faulty coolant pump issue (random) so replaced that and the valve block (under warranty). I didn't get a price breakdown of it all as everything was on the house (which I'm grateful for) but my SA was already gone for the day when I picked up the car. I'll reach out to him tomorrow to see if he's willing to share the actual costs associated with this whole fiasco.

Now for the odd news of it all. Honestly, I feel like the car is night and day better. Seriously I am shocked at how responsive the throttle is now, how much (seat of the pants?) quicker it felt, the transmission feels tighter, just everything feels like it was enabled or something. For lack of a better term. I bought the car in August and thought it was great (coming from a manual M4) and have driven it about 2500 miles or so. So perhaps over the 4 days of not driving it I forgot (not likely)? Or did all of this much needed maintenance actually wake it the hell up? I'm blown away by how good this car really is. Now.

That’s because spark plug access is even worse on the BMW, requires removing high pressure fuel pump stuff, and there are 33% more spark plugs to replace. On a 991.1 N/A motor you could do all the spark plugs in under an hour yourself or pay a shop $500. The cost is always tied to the hours.

I highly doubt your spark plugs at such low mileage were worn to make that change unless they re-programmed the PDK. Sort of like installing an aftermarket muffler and you think the car is faster.

I can understand inspections on aircraft (different ball game), but on low mileage cars...really? Hell I still have the original serpentine belt and plugs on my 2015 with 7084 miles. Inspected the belt the other day and removed & reinstalled the spark plugs back in 2022. Fluid changes are number-one with me and get done no matter how low the mileage is.
