International BMW warranty?

I am looking to buy two new vehicles from Canada and send them to Europe so I can have them there when I go there every year.

I have asked my Sales Associate about the warranty coverage and he looked into it for me.
To my surprise the warranty that they offer is 2 years while here in Canada we have 4 years or 80,000 km, whichever occurs first.

I am (very) unpleasantly surprised by this.

I mean a KIA has in Europe 7 years warranty and a BMW has two?
Fiat has 5 years or 100,000, Peugeot 4 years or 100,000, and those are not reliable vehicles and cost waaay less.

What about no warranty? Screw it! Give me the money and deal yourself with water pumps, chain assembly and so on.

If that is the case, I most likely do not buy the cars. Rather look for a used one, so I will be in the same boat anyway, with no warranty, but at least that is at least 30% less in price.

Can extra warranty be bought in there or not? If yes, how much?

Does anyone did this and can share the info?

Thanks.
