Can you get BMW warranty on a car if previously lapsed?

Hi Guys,

New to the forum, looking to buy a CSL (immediately...lol). A BMW warranty is a 'must' for me (as well as a low miles car so it won't cost a fortune to renew every year lol)

I looked at a car yesterday which was in great condition & drove well, but it DIDN'T have the warranty, and when we spoke to the local BMW dealer they said it can't be put on a car if it's previously lapsed even if the Service History is perfect (so you can't just 'buy' one). I was surprised at this as I've done that with Porsche & Mercedes in the past.

In your experience is that true? (ie if I want a BMW warranty I can only buy a car that already has it, or from a BMW main dealer...obviously paying the painful £££ premium for the latter!)

Many Thanks!
