It was only that long because it was that long.

We can help you get it out of break in...and why bother with break in anyway? it's just a rental. :p

True. But maybe because it's a 1st year car. 2002+ E46's are pretty solid.

Still, ~$2K is short money to extend one's full peace of mind for 6-years/100K miles.

For the first time in years Acura is having problems with reliability, and this in their flagship RL (which is not selling as well as hoped to begin with). Seems electronics are to blame.

Same thing with the MDX.

We may not be able to get away from this problem, I'm interested in how it affects used cars and CPO used cars in the years to come.
