I can only hope that BMW is better with their warranty than Porsche. Centerlock failures on the 997.2 GT3 prompted Porsche to require owners to keep a track mileage log and replace the CL's after a certain mileage accrued on the track. They also will not warranty the coolant lines that fail and spill coolant over the the rear tires as that would require removal of the engine to replace the lines. They also keep track of the over revs via the DME so they can deny warranty. The clutch is not strong enough and fails prematurely as well. They find out that your car has been on the track=warranty denied...

If you're going to buy a Porsche you need to go into it knowing that you'll get absolutely gouged on everything, and then you'll be on your own come warranty time. It's not because Porsche can't cover warranty from a financial standpoint as they average $23K on every 911 it produces and is the most profitable car producer in the world.
