Since i bought the car pre-owned and the original owner thought the clutch petal was optional I got a brand new clutch and fly wheel for free. Don't forget too that a brake job or two, and the 3+ oil changes the extra 50,000 miles mean would cost you far more than $1300 at the dealer.
BMW's 6yr/100K extended maintenance for a 325/330 should be around 900-1000. You overpaid at 1300. It's totally negotiable. I shopped around for an extended maintenance plan for my E46 M3 and it only cost me $1190. I never tracked the car but it needed pads every 12-15K miles and rotors every 30K. 4 rotors and 4 pads would normally cost around $1000 w/o the free maint.

I would expect the ext. maintenance plan for the 135 to be under $1,200.
Remember that it's not the same as extended warranty. If you want an extended warranty, you can pick one up for 2-4K depending on the coverage/years/miles you need...
