3) All cars, unless you buy brand new, come from an auction.

4) BMW has a terrible 80k warranty, so almost all used cars out of lease you'd buy would be out of warranty.

Just couldnt let this nonsense slide by...

Dude just because YOU made a mistake, dont blame "all the new ones".

Seems you have an odd way of determining your own personal view is reality... "all cars come from auction" and "almost all cars off lease would be out of warranty". Nowhere near true.

In fact picking up a car off lease with 30k miles, then adding an extended warranty is a great plan...but importing a car with unknown issues into canada and stripping any warranty in the process is not.

Or the comment that vanos bolts are a common failure- because that was on you car and some mechanic says "yeah, its common". Whatever... You asked "Apparently these cars keep having the same issues across the board. I'm trying to find someone that has resolved the issues" Maybe it isnt "Across the board" since nobody here is saying "yeah, mine had it"..maybe you bought a lemon, yet you are blaming "all of them" along with BMW.

Figured you'd be able to pull a fast one with your contacts and auction access? Why not have your friend who owns the dealership in KY fix it under the US warranty?

Enjoy the ride. (not the X, the rest of this little experience....)

I only regret that we will not be able to publish the vin to protect whomever you unload this on.
