Yep, I know, but my point is, when this warranty gets expired, if anything happens on the BMW, electrical problems, engine, tire, oil changes, etc... then it is going to be a negative in you in long terms.
I had a lease in a BMW X3 with Sport M Package and I had electrical problems with tire pressure sensors (My mother in law M6 had this problem too). I had problems with the exhaust system, rattling noises, they changed the whole exhaust system.
Also had a ticking noise in the engine which the could never fix during the life of the lease. Anyway I was pleased with their service, they put a lot of attention in customers.
All of this compared to my experience with my 350z (I got it 4 month later) I haven't gotten any problems yet, besides a recall on the clutch (Clutch slave cylinder replaced). I do have to pay for the oil changes, but is not a pain in the a*s. No electrical problems yet, etc.
This is the point that I am trying to get. that at long term, if the car is not a lease or you have plans to stay with the car for more than 5, 6, 7 yrs, maybe it is going to cost you big bucks at long term, without pushing the car to the limits.
Maybe I wasn't lucky enough and my mother in law too, but you know.
But they still are great cars but with many little stuff to be observed.
my point of view in maintenance
