  Doug:


  I have an off lease 5 series that I bought CPO. So far I have replaced both 
xenon light fixtures ($1,000) and the MID pixels ($2,000) under CPO warranty 
with no hassles. These are great cars but they are HMO. So for BMWs I recommend 
CPO, God knows that would apply to Ferraris as well. 


  But the pain feels so good! If we were not kinky we would all be driving 
Hondas.

    BMW - my son in law buys a newish off lease 5 series - and a dripping gas 5

    Back to the dealer.
    NOPE - sez the dealer - NOT ours.  See - we did a 783 item check off list 
to 
    pass on ONLY the bestest vehicles.  Nope, dripping gas tank - not ours.

    Hmmmm.  Get me a copy of your check off list.  I look it over - yep - 
    EVERYTHING is good - just as the good Yes boxes said so.  But wait - heh 
    heh.

    We schedule a meeting with the VP or Grand PooBah of something.  Why wont 
    you do something about this problem?  Well, it coulda happened elsewhere - 
    your son-in-law didn't service the car with us and it could have happed 
    where he does (bash and patch in lower front of plastic gas tank).  Well, 
it 
    didn't. Uh huh.  Well our list didn't note it.  Oh yeah, your list - it 
    would have caught this?  Yes?  This list?  Yes.  This list a good as gold, 
    eh?  Yes - you check EVERYTHING on it - Yes, sometimes twice.  OK so this, 
    this and this was checked?  Yes, what are you getting at?  Well, you see 
the 
    car there?  Yes, the coupe?  Ayep - the coupe.  And RIGHT HERE your guy 
    checks that the "convertible top" is OK.  Huh?

    They paid for all parts and rental, Son-In-Law paid minor labor.  End of 
    story.  Believe those lists?  Caveat Emptor - JUST like before.  Wadda 
    concept.  heh heh
