The extended BMW powertrain warranty covers emissions equipment. You can buy it after your cars warranty expires so long as your under 60K miles. Its the only warranty besides gold and platinum that you can't buy after your warranty is up that covers emissions equipment.
On a different side BMW knows the reliability of the emissions components are poor, and bmw will good will them for some time. But the other common failures, Boost hose, vacuum lines, vibration damper, cbu, glow plugs, alternator, etc. will not be covered. For what its worth injector failures are fairly rare unless they get carboned up. Most folks experience injector failures after a carbon cleaning.
My best advice is save 2000-4000K a year to cover repairs and maintenance on these cars. That is what they typically need to keep them in good repair and maintained. Skip the extended warranty and your savings will cover repairs down the road.

Since rte 66 only goes for 2k. It seems worth it by your math.
