worst car you'll ever own...man, did you ever make a mistake. No warranty.....pfft might as well start throwing $100 bills out your car's wondows ...assuming they still go down (and damn is that's an expensive repair...ouch). You're a crazy mofo for buying a turd like this without warranty.....hahaha...what a tool. Man are you fucked.....oh my head hurts from laughing at your expense......hehehe, he bought a BMW and went online and found nothing but bad comments.....quick, sell it and buy an Accord
What an asset to this forum you are.

Not to beat a dead horse, but you absolutely positively need to get an extended warranty!!!!
It's saved me about $3000 so far...I hope I don't get the coolant leak, but at least I'll be covered!

yeah, i think i'll get the extended warranty just in case, since it would be horrible if i have some major issues. i'm liking the car more and more as it's grown on me. tonight i hit some nice curvy roads with it and really enjoyed the whole experience. it's not nimble like a sports car, but it's impressive for what it is. does anyone have any feedback on what warranty company to recommend as far as cost goes? i know you can shop around quite a bit, but it would be nice to have first hand knowledge. thanks guys for all the comments, since you've all been helpful (good, bad, or ugly).
and sy1616, you're a douche.

I have a 2005 545 and would trade it for anything on the market right now. Maybe the 550 but the difference in power wouldn?t warrant the cost of change.
The 545 with a six speed manual has plenty of power.
I take it in for regular service at the dealer and don?t find the service that expensive. The dealer has been good so far.
Good luck with your new purchase.
