Wow, alot miles! Only one brake pad/rotor change?

I have question about extended maintenance warranty.

I got my 128i coupe on Sept, 08. Now it has 40,000 miles closing to the end of warranty.
It's my DD car, about 60 miles round trip per day, about 15000 miles each year (first 3000 miles was in Europe during ED).

Since most of my driving are on highway, so every time the car reaches 15000 miles interval, car computer still says about 3000 miles to go for next oil change. So I always got an annual oil change, then after about 3000 miles (not allow to re-set computer if oil change was done based on time not condition.), another oil change based on notice from on-board computer.

I was thinking to purchase extended maintenance warranty to 6year/100k miles (for me, 6 year will hit first) because the cost of brake pad/rotor change.

In your case, your first brake change happened at more than 100k miles? Without that cost, I counted about $1000 (before 100k) based on your data from standard warranty got expired to about 100k miles.

What's your opinion on extended maintenance warranty? I'm not a DIY guy.
Also, how about extended power train warranty (not maintenance warranty)?
