The salesman told me that it is running synthetic oil and only requires an oil change twice a year...I've heard that Beemers only need 1 only change a year, so I believe it. I'm definitely going to keep up on the maintenance though.

I'd still change it at least every 4-5k on VW engines. Believe me, as much as I'm sorry to say, the MKIV's, especially the 1.8t's, are plagued with problems. I'd still trade my reliable Corolla for it though. 8)

Yeah, I heard that vdubs had reliability issues but mostly electrical stuff. That's why I bought the warranty b/c I wouldn't have bought the car without it.

Man, that's really good for a used car. What does it cover? Also, I've driven a MKIV for a brief drive, they are very fun. :D

The warranty covers everything. Bumper to bumper, powertrain, GAP coverage, and it includes "Pro-Coat" which is an extra clearcoat seal that covers the interior and exterior of the vehicle for 7 years against spills, paint damage, bird crapz, etc...It's like having a new car...but not completely new.

As for the ghey rainbow, like IMBoring said, I haz no choices but to keepz 'em.

Thanks for the compliments fellow standard shifters :)
