I decided better not.

That's correct, only the first owner (or a franchise dealership if they purchased the car from BMWFS) can extend the warranty.

Now i'm looking at a 2007 328i 6spd MT, with exactly 20k miles. The car is bare bones, with no extras) The color is what I want but their asking 26k (excluding tax and reg.) so out the door is $28,700.
Personally I think thats too much, what do u guys think?

If it was fully loaded, then maybe. But bare-bones, I wouldn't pay more than $23K.

Also seeing a NON-CPO with OEM warranty thru end 2011 - asking $24k even. Also exactly what I want but its non-cpo.... Should I be worries about it being a lemon? will by warranty protect me if I were to buy it?
Would appreciate any advice to any/all of my questions!

Run a carfax to see if it was a prior lemon law/buyback. In general with the E90/E92 chassis, most buybacks occured with early 2007 335's due to fuel pump failure. The 328/330's don't get sent back for lemon law very often.
Do keep in mind that you still would have warranty until 2011 - that's plenty of time to figure out if your car is problematic or not. Besides, if you're looking for one with no bells/whistles (idrive/nav), there really isn't much to go wrong...
