Warranty expires in a few days.

At least was able to get them to replace my pads and rotors before it expired.

No extended warranty? If you like it and are going to keep it, a BMW extended warranty might be worth the money.

Extended warranty is over $3k for the M3. Its not that problematic where i personally think its worth the money. Plus I know a couple of BMW techs if I am really in a jam.

If only I had a CTS-V wagon then my other thread for more storage place wouldnt be needed.

Ouch. That is pretty bad.

I just paid a touch less than $2k to extend my V's factory warranty to 7 years/100k miles.

Oh boy, I was going to email a few dealerships for quotes this week. I can't wait to see what they offer.

Wow, I'd have expected it to be higher, but that's a great deal...

Too busy to get out much these days.

Did add a powerful mod over the weekend.

OEM M3 rear badge in silverstoneII with frozen clear!




Picture from over the weekend at a local meet.
