I bought the "platinum" warranty through United Car Care when I bought my e53. It was about $5k and has been worth every penny. To date, they have covered about $8k in repairs including valve stem seals, alternator, and transfer case motor.

They did not cover a door handle carrier (considered body part), window regulator clip (though they authorized a whole regulator until the Indy thought he'd save me money by just replacing the clip), and the power steering reservoir (filter was clogged so they declared act of God).

Read the warranty carefully to see what it does and does not cover. You can probably call them and find out what they consider different parts to see whether it's worth it for you. For me, it was absolutely worth it.
