i know you really can't argue with peace of mind, but the rates are just way too expensive. if something were to happen to my vehicle (knocking on wood - hard) i plan on taking it to an independent shop that works only on bmw's, for a fraction of dealer costs. i hope i made the right decision.

Where you can get burned by that strategy is the cost of parts. Most independents charge the same as BMW for parts, and won't install parts you buy on your own, or at best, won't warranty the work.
A set of injectors would cost about the same as an extended warranty, just for the parts.
