OK, maybe 'scumbag' was a bit strong... He does say it has 500HP then say's "about that 500HP?- just going by what someone said"..
WHy wouldn't the warranty apply? Unless whatever accident caused the salvage is, in fact, the cause of a warranty claim, won't the warranty be 'good'? Practically speaking, of course, this may be moot in BMWs eyes... will they just flat out void the warranty?
i guess your right about the 500hp thing.
if the car is totalled , no car dealer will warranty it. if the car was totaled at a dealer they would know. ask a local bmw place to run the vin and see.
also .. if its salvage no insurance company will do full coverage and you cant finance it. the list goes on and on..
Actually, when I purchased a 97' Integra GS-R, it had a salvage title. I didn't have trouble with insurance coverage. And although I paid cash, when I sold it to a girl I new, she financed it with no problems.

thats weird cause when i was gonna buy a salvage title e46 m3 (stolen recovery with a blown motor for 14k. my insurance company said they wouldnt even insure it and i would have to get hi risk with the state (not full) my insurance company is travelers and i couldnt get the financing unless i could get the insurance. so i bailed.
I emailed him and he said he was told it had 5oohp.
I mentioned he might change the hp. because even a full S2 M5 has 470, not 500! The car has SOME mods, No headers. Hmmm what have we learned about hp. gains up to and until headers are done???
