So I just found out my car is certified pre-owned, and I have a warranty until March 09. Fuck yes! Now I need to figure out what I can get covered…haha. That was totally not mentioned in the purchase…or the price for that matter. I just ordered this: [http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=184378](http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=184378) but with a Samco hose instead of a Streamline. that’ll be it for motor mods. i don’t care enough to have an exhaust (i like stock) and in terms of appearance that’s good enough. ---

Nice… maybe one day Ill bump up into an E46… in the mean time Im loving the E36. If those contours are real I may be interested in taking them off your ahnds if you unload them later down the road. I was debating on either contours or LTW’s… Im bored of my DS-II’s ---

That was totally not mentioned in the purchase…or the price for that matter. are you SURE its CPO by BMW? in order to be BMW CPO it needs to have been bought @ a bmw dealer, not only that, but BMW stopped CPOing e46 m cars a while ago… so unless your car sat forever, i woudl assume that the “CPO” is probably through another company offering “extended” warranty coverage… ---

Or the person he bought the car from bought it from the dealer as a CPO car a while ago and the warranty transfers with the car. At least that is how GM does it. ---

I am the second owner…I called a BMW dealer and had them run my VIN. I’m good until March. Now if only I had something that needed to be fixed…ha here’s what happened - I called roadside a few weeks ago asking them about towing me when I got it stuck in the driveway. They said I was good til March of 09 for anything…so I figured you know, that’s when a CPO would expire too…so I called the dealer and they also confirmed I have a CPO warranty. Interesting. ---

I’m confused now. I knew about the no spare towing…but that is only to a dealership if your tire blows out…not if your dumbass swings it out of the driveway into 2 feet of snow…ha ---

Nice looking ride man. Honestly once you put an exhaust system on your car you will forget that you have a radio. Mine came with a Dinan muffler. I was looking forward to hearing what it would sound like once i fabbed up a mid pipe for it (with no resonators) but doing a back flip over southwestern took care of that project for me. ---
