The CPO checklist won't have things on it that make it fail a CPO, since they have to forward it to BMW to register the warranty. The importance of having it is later, if something is broken, you can point out that they certified it wasn't broken, so it should be their dime to fix it.

And note that Ard doesn't imply much, he comes right out and says it. Ard is very direct, I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt a little more. The common theme with both of us, I think, is that we agree it is your responsibility to check what you are buying, and to document everything to the greatest extent possible.
