For the owners out there intending to keep their Xs beyond the warranty/maintenance... how many have purchased an extended warranty? It looks like it will run anywhere from $1.5k-$3k to extend the warranty thru 7 years of ownership (3 extra years).

I am only at 900 miles right now and was going to see how many problems I'm having within a year but obviously with limited use I'm in the clear so far but it's hard to gauge. How have your experiences been and will you be considering some sort of extended warranty based on ownership so far? I know people with older E53s would probably have a different opinion, or maybe not. The longer I wait, the higher the cost of the warranty.

BTW, I don't believe it covers maintenance such as oil changes... only problems should they arise at all.
