I’m looking at buying a M3 from a guy who bought it while stationed in Germany with the Air Force.
On the build sheet it says 3 years unlimited miles for the warranty.
Obviously the US warranty is 4 years 50k miles.

Is there anything else about a Euro delivery that affects owning it in the US?
I’m probably just being paranoid because buying from private sellers makes me nervous.

Thanks for any help with this

If he bought it in Germany via Military sales while stationed over there, it's US Spec car, but not sure about the warranty.

European Delivery, in its previous incarnation, was essentially the same as buying it in the US, which is not the same as the car in your case.

Edit: This link says it's 4/50.

What? You can buy an M3 with air force salary?

Some higher enlisted ranks can afford it, especially if they have a spouse who works or is in the military. The military doesn’t preclude them from saving money for a decent down payment either.

Commissioned officers and pilots can definitely afford it receiving flight pay incentives etc.

They run concurrently. So if the car has been here in Germany for 3 years and 6 months there is no remaining European warranty but there would be 6 months and whatever mileage under 50k remaining for North America. If he bought it at Euler the service was likely done there and you could email them and inquire. The (free) included services (USA) aren’t included here (Europe) though and that could effect you if there, I’d ask a representative from either Bavarian Motor Cars or Euler. Not a big deal if it’s oil changes though.

BMW’s are bought all the time here and shipped back to be sold or for further use with no problems.

I am currently here in Germany and purchased all my BMW's though military sales. I can verify that it's a 3 years unlimited miles warranty when it's in Europe and 4 years 50k miles when it's in the states.

Being stationed overseas, a service member can sock away more than someone stationed stateside, if you play it right. I believe there are still special deals to be had for military folks stationed in Europe, especially in Germany. An O-3 (captain) especially with flight pay as well as senior enlisted can easily afford a M3.

My wide and I are both active duty O-4 pilots stationed in Germany. I can assure you we can more than afford our M3 lol.
