It looks like there may be issues on the horizon with the Brake Vacuum and Alternator Mount Bracket Leaking.
I looked into some used car warranties, but I'm not sure if they are worth the monthly price. I'm afraid I'll pay all this money and when something goes they'll say everything is covered "but that repair!"
Does anyone have experience or thoughts?
This is my first post too so thanks in advance!

The N62 isn’t well known for being reliable. IMHO I would try Car Shield and see what their quote would be for powertrain at least. Make sure gaskets, coolant parts, trans and some key electrical components are covered. Also, good time for you and your son to bond by doing some preventative maintenance together such as replacing spark plugs, coil packs, filters, etc...
My mechanical skills suck but YouTube taught me how to do plugs and coils on my e90 and f36.
