Would you buy a 2018 m2 if the run in service at 2000kms here in Canada was done at 3700kms.

Will this affect warranty. I'm not getting straight answers at the dealership so I ask would you still buy it??

Yes, I would still buy it but I would request additional discount.
It could affect the warranty of the components that might be affected by it - mainly the differential.

I wouldn't worry too much as I heard that non M cars with optional LSD don't have the extra fluid change. Absolutely no worries about the engine, again, the non M cars with N55 don't change oil for the first year.

Thanks... the car only has 4,000kms and is 6 months old. I've been reassure by my dealership that it's not an issue. I'm also not buying the car from my dealership so they have no invested interest in the sale of the car

Yes. Ultimately any warranty claims are approved by BMW Canada and not your dealership.
