Thanks for the info, including the last link to the extended warranty thread- a very interesting read. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. A big part of me says not to do it, because extended warranties would not exist unless BMW makes money on them (on average). I've had pretty good luck with my car so far, and the biggest concern (the HPFP) is covered for 100K (or is it 120K?) miles anyway. So I might just take my chances, change my own oil, air filters, etc. and find myself a good BMW mechanic outside of the dealership. Anyone know of a good shop in the Boston area? I currently go to BMW Norwood- their service has been quite good, but I'm not sure I want to continue to use the dealer once the maintenance plan ends. Too expensive....
