BMW Warranty, or not?

New here, blah blah blah, first post etc....

I have deduced the following from a great deal of reading of guides etc... and want to just check-out/validate my thoughts. I'm going to buy a CSL and will probablyu put quite a few miles on it so need a little buying advice.

1. BMW Warranty...it's the one to have! All others are crap and without it you *could* be looking at huge bills? TRUE/FALSE

2. If the car doesn't have a warranty now then BMW will sell you one (£2k ish) but ONLY if the car has a FULL BMW SERVICE record? And this means that you must have your pants taken down by the local BMW dealer forever. TRUE/FALSE

3. No warranty, no FBMWSH, over 60k = eeeek; run as fast as you can? TRUE/FALSE

4. Sod it, a good independent garage is better than BMW and the money you save buying miley, non BMW-serviced cars can go straight into the engine/SMG savings fund (or on hookers if that takes your fancy). TRUE/FALSE.

Ta all and sorry if this is well documented....
