One final thing to consider: you appear to be in Maryland, which is a CA Emissions Warranty state. Your emissions systems should be covered to 7/70K because of that (although heavens know which components those are, as BMW doesn't publish a list, the service advisors are clueless, and you may have to fight to get them to cover items like I did.)
For my purposes, since I drive 18K+ a year, the extended warranty ($2100-$2500 for 6Y/100K) would essentially cover only an additional year (of the components I figured would most likely break), so I didn't buy it. YMMV, and be sure to check the exclusions of CA Warranty (have to buy and license the car in Maryland, etc.)
Note that there's also an 8/80K warranty on some "emissions components", including the catalyst, DDE (ECU) and OBD system. Not very helpful in most cases, unfortunately.
