What would you do???

[Burt Reynolds]

There are aftermarket warranties that are much better for that kind of money. CPO does not even cover everything...plus you can get your money back on an aftermarket warranty if you ever sell your car unlike CPO. The warranties I am referring to are not the ones you buy at the dealer...much higher end for less than dealer prices. Consumer reports evaluated them a while back if you decide to go that route.

I agree with you that it is an amazing car. One of the things which scares me it the expense after the warranty expires. There are a few Z4M out there selling at a good price with low mines but I did not come across any which had a navi and blue tooth (Z4m's which were priced good).

I got my 2006 Z4M Roaster with 10000 miles. I got the factory 5 year 50K maintenance warranty. I also added an additional warranty for $ 1800.00 to it, that covers also all wear and tear untill 2012 or a total of 60000 miles.

I pretty much covered except Tires ! They are not covered or the Rimms.....that was an additional $ 400.00 I think it was. I skipped that.
Funny thing..........I just had a flat tire.....made into the BMW dealership, and they charged me $ 35.00 to fix the Flat.
