Easy answers
1. The new car warranty and service is 3 years and 50,000 niles --- whichever comes first. Clock starts to tick at the date of registered sale. So, an 08 i close to the end of the 3 year limit.
2. The bmw extended warranty costs 3495 or close to it -- adds 50,000 miles and 2 years. So an 08 would go to 2014.
3. I recall the extension is sold to the first owner as an accessory. G
Get really clear with the dealer on the warranty and service status
4. Ask for a printout of the FOB electronic records -- BOTH fobs. And have the service mgr go over it with you
Good luck

Great information!
A couple of updated points:
New Car is 4 yrs and 50k, from date of service. Additionally, if the car was placed in service as a demo or used by a sales person for even one day, the warranty is extended by an additional 3 months and 5,000 miles.
I managed to negotiate the cost on the additional warranty to 3,100 so there is room in the list price of the service contract.
There is currently a 1 day M School AND $1,500 in the form of 3, $500 credits on your first 3 payments thereby lowering your cost by another $1,500. Take advantage! Here is the boilerplate from BMW NA:

As stated by cjcarrad, print everything, study and become familiar with it, then take it to the $tealership. From my experience, they are clueless about their offers. Even the national office.
As many have stated, CPO is the safest way to go on a vehicle as complex as these are. Anything else is a MAJOR risk. If the dealers passed up on it at auction, the vehicle is probably seen as risky in some potentially expensive fashion and/or unable to be certified.
Great advice on the fobs! I only took the one I use. I will take the secondary to the $tealership as well.
And yes, Grey is the color of the best surface combatants in the world...Fair winds and following seas.
I hope that his helps. :cheers:
and the mileage is good too for a 07 M6 , if you can negotiate the price with the dealer i say go for it , you will love it
