If you look on the BMW GB site you'll see it's no different over there in terms of a car from outside the importer's jurisdiction. UK offers 3-years unlimited mile warranty on new BMWs but it drops to two-years if the car is taken out of the area. BMW USA and NA offer 4-years/50k which is not honored outside US/NA.
BMW USA also includes 3-years of maintenance which isn't offered or honored outside the USA. Even our CPO warranty doesn't apply when you cross the border. It's built into pricing and marketing. US consumers demand and are used to longer warranties. It is BMW's cost of doing business here.
