I wonder if BMW would honor the warranty on a salvage vehicle? I would think not but am not sure.

i didnt even see the part about the warranty i was so dumbfounded by the bondo thing. no bmw is not going to honor that. listen, the car was totaled, somebody was reimbursed for the cost of the vehicle, whether it be the bank, and indivdual, bmw, a private company, whatever. that car IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE JUNKYARD. that car HAS BEEN WRITTEN OFF. when i say written off, it is not a figure of speech. That car is dead. when a car dies it gets a salvage title, when you die you get a death cerificate. if dr. Frankenstein brings you back to life, you dont get to keep going to the doctor on your old health insurance plan
OMG ahahah DR. frankenstein LOL! you never cease to amaze me with the most sarcastic hilarious comments! +1! HAHA
