Opinions on this extended warranty coverage/pricing

Hey all,

Just picked up an '08 135i with 33,000km (~21,000 miles).

Warranty ends beginning of September. Dealer quoted me the following prices (CAD$) for the attached warranty (right most column) This is the Ultimate warranty:

1 more year, but not going over 80,000 kms $1886.00 + GST
1 more year, but not going over 100,000 kms $2109.00 + GST

2 more years, but not going over 80,000 kms $2004.00 + GST
2 more years, but not going over 100,000 kms $2282.00 + GST

3 more years, but not going over 80,000 kms $2093.00 + GST
3 more years, but not going over 100,000 kms $2709.00 + GST
3 more years, but not going over 120,000 kms $2989.00 + GST

Very unlikely I will go over 80,000km over the next 3 years. For sure I will not go over in 2 years.

So really, $2,100 for 3 more years coverage. There is a $200 deductible per visit (not per item fixed). Not so sure about that - need to get a bit more info on it.

Includes navigation, dvd player and lcd screen. I have Idrive with Nav. Need to get more clarification if the entire idrive electronics are covered. I can't quite tell.

Also not sure if my Comfort Access failing would be covered.

I know there are mixed feelings on the extended warranty. I imagine this one must be fairly standard? Seem like a good bit is covered.

Thoughts?

Going to bump this. Anyone have any thoughts?

I can also get $100 deductible for $2200 (3years, 80,000km)

I'd rather spend the money on mods, but worry about a big ticket fix out of pocket.

Talked to my SA and they said for extended warranties they (whoever 'they' is) always ask if the vehicle has been modified. She says most of the time they are reasonable and do not deny a claim unless they can show that the failure is caused by the modification. It is however at their discretion, so they can deny any claim at any time if the vehicle is modified.

I can get a refund (prorated, of course) at any time, so I guess if a claim was denied, I could just cancel the policy and at least get some money back.

I just don't know. Given I will be right around 80,000km (50,000miles) come 3 years from now when the warranty expires - not sure if anything major (that is covered by warranty) is likely to occur.
