You will be hard pressed to find a legitimate warranty for a used 2015 M3. Have the car inspected and save money for repairs.

If you are in northern/central NJ you could ask the good guys at BimmerHub in Westfield to give it a look. Not sure what they’d charge but they do great work if you ever needed any service or repair.

+1 on investing into a thorough pre-purchase inspection instead of aftermarket warranties.
PPI should cost you ~2 hours of labor that you pay for out of pocket, but usually uncovers issues that offset the purchase price by way more than you paid for the PPI.

Tell us where you are in NJ, and someone will recommend a shop nearby. Ideally, it would be a shop you will use down the road.
Alternatively, look here: http://njbmwcca.org/nj-bmwcca-sponsors/

HTH,

P.S.: The challenge with aftermarket warranties is that very few shops bother accepting them. Ask the shops you intend to patronize which, if any, they work with, and maybe get price quotes from those. If the answer is none - that should tell you everything you need to know.
