Your car looks like it has less wear but mine is not bad at all.

I won't replace RBs until sometime after 50k and at 75k I'm happy to take over the overall risk. The way I understand the warranty is that you can take it directly to BMW after the 30 day initial warranty is up. If there are big ticket repairs, Carmax will send out someone to approve the costs. At least that's what I've read of people's experiences on BMW forums.

Oh, and have them remove the rear sticker when you pick up it. They'll do that.
I was being hopeful about them replacing the RBs but figured at 20k miles, I still have some time before I just get it done at PM. Warranty doesn't sound bad at all. Would any mods like exhaust, tune... void that warranty?

Thanks, I'll definitely ask them to remove that sticker!
