Tips on Buying Cars: BMW Warranty Question, bmw z4, warranty administrator


Question
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used 2003 BMW Z4 from a local Acura dealership, its on their used lot.  They said they took it in on a trade.  I'm told that the guy who traded it in bought it as a Certified Pre-Owned, therefore it comes with the 100,000/6 year warranty that comes with the CPO program.  You can see the car here:

I have a couple questions:  is there a way to find out for sure if this car is a CPO and covered under that warranty and is the warranty fully transferable to me?
Any advice you can provide would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Kevin

Answer
The BMW Certified Pre-Owned Program is one of the best, and the warranty is transferrable, BUT- BMW specifically states that it's transferrable from the individual that purchased the car under the CPO program.  Whether or not it's still transferrable now that the car has been traded in to a non-BMW dealer raises a big question mark.  Call your local BMW dealer and ask to speak to the warranty administrator in the service department; they'll know for sure.
