Well.... Just so you know. In the old days (15 years ago) here in Hong Kong, warranty on cars are pretty much like US: 2yrs maintenance, 4-5 yrs parts.

But now the standard warranty on cars here are only 1yr regular maintenance, and 2yrs parts only. Now BMW only recommend changing oil/regular maintenance at 12000KM/12-months. Doesn't quite inspire confidence for a 2yr parts warranty for us, right?
