Same. Anyone not independently wealthy or a reasonably skilled DIY'er has no business buying a BMW without a warranty. I always get the "but yours are always so nice and run so well" question after that. On average I sacrifice a weekend a month in the garage. Most aren't willing/able/competent to do that.
