Default Please help with 2 questions before I cancel my BMW order! Warranty & radio related inside.

1) Does the warranty cover wear and tear too? For instance if I wear through my brakes will they replace them gratis?

2) How is the radio reception in this car? I am frequently driving in the backwoods of Wisconsin. My gf's Honda gets INCREDIBLE reception and I can pick up stations as far as Chicago. This is a big plus for me. My old Ford Explorer could barely get anything in Milwaukee.

Default the warranty covers abnormal wear and tear...If you can get them to replace the brakes just cause

MORE POWER TO YOU.

The radio, hmm, I'd say it's got pretty good reception but can't speak for distance. Usually a car mounted antenna gets better reception than a window mounted or glass antenna<p>AutoThority Chip

The warranty covers everything, brake pads and rotors, wiper blades, oil, coolant, etc. The radio has been a problem on some Audis but I believe it has been corrected because my dealer is replacing a bunch of them with new ones that are backordered at Audi.

Default Brakes ARE too covered -- pads, rotors, fluid, even calipers...

Except for the calipers I've had all of these replaced.
