Just a thought.

How is that different if Jimmy bought a bmw still under warranty? If Johnny screwed around with his car and then sells it privately(even after wiping it clean), jimmy might still be out of luck. This does nothing for the consumer and everything for the dealer and bmw. Buyers are now more drawn to dealer purchase cause cpo transfers and bmw doesn't have to continue coverage when car is sold privately. Win win for them. |
Well if Johnny's M was tuned at say 10k miles, the warranty would have been void anyways...
