About the extended warranty, I paid $2,900 CAD for the 7yr/100,000km plan. I don't drive much, about 10k km per year max.
I knew back then that if I take the plan later, it will cost more.
I just check the plan on bmw.ca website, the same plan I got is now $3,910 CAD

that's pretty damn good deal for 7yr/100km which is around 62-63k miles as that price that you paid would cost less in the states and of course the minimum i'd be looking at is 7yr/75k which was quoted as being a whole lot more than what you were charged even with the distance discrepancy.
with the advice given above, though, i really need to get to know the ins and outs of this car first and then decide whether longterm ownership makes sense. i know waiting until the last minute is never a great idea, but also rushing to buy, after reading the advice here, is also not a great idea as i'm very new to the car and the car is very new to me. i'll likely reevaluate after a year or so of ownership.
