I've noticed that in the UK you get a 3 year/unlimited mile warranty (or 5 year LTC for £100). In the USA it seems to be a 4 year/50k mile deal. Here in Poland it's only a two year warranty. Anybody know why this is? Is it just a case of BMW saying 'we can get away with offering only 2 years in Poland so we're only going offer 2 years'? Doesn't that break some EU law or other?

EU law requires a 2 year warranty.

Here (UK) you gat a 2 year manufacturer's warranty followed by an extra 1 year dealer backed warranty assuming the car has been properly serviced.
