Some questions re X35d

[baytech]

This is going to be a long post. Newbie here, so go easy on me

Brand new owner of a CPOed 13 X35d, while I was at the dealership I was offered bunch plans and I'd like the hive-mind's wisdom on this.

background:
I had to buy a car in about 3 days(long story for another day). I'm a car dude and never liked SUVs. But life has forced me to get one. So found a 2013-X35D with 38K miles on CPO on a relatively good deal and bought it without research. And now I'm here doing some post purchase research. I know, not ideal, but again, life happens

Car: 2013 X35d with 38K. Black Sapphire.Bunch of packages that I don't care and Sports Activity Package with 20" wheels that I do care(may be :p..)
Existing Warranty: Original Warranty till 08/2017 and 2 years of CPO after that. So I'm covered till 08/2019

The BMW dealership that I bought this car from(SUPER NICE people!) offered me the following optionsAll warranties are from BMW and not third party)

a) Extended Warranty: 3 Years CPO wrap. Extends my coverage till 08/2020 and elevates the CPO to new car level warranty for 3 years(CPO is limited coverage)
Price: $2500

b) Extended Maint plan: 2 years from 08/2017. So I get free maintenance till 08/2019

Price: $2400

c) Tire protection insurance: Apparently 20" RFTs are prone to get messed up faster. So I get free tires if , let us say, I get "nailed" :p. Basically a road hazard warranty *with* addition of curb rashes and paint chips(yes I confirmed the latter part)
Price: $2500 for 5 Years.

Since I normally have a personal distaste for extended warranty's I declined. But they did tell me that for the first two I have time till 08/2017 to decide. While they had said that Tire protection can't be bought once I drive off(I have brand new tires on the car), I'm sure I can talk them into it if it is worth while. Since it's been just 24 hours.

So questions:
1) Thoughts on extended warranty quote above? Is it priced high, low, average?
2) if high or "meh", any contacts who can get me better pricing?
3) One of the reasons I declined the extended warranty was that I wanted a longer term, say 5 years/125K. Does BMW offer such a warranty?
4)Should I go for third party route? Can they do better? Any contacts?
5) Should I buy the maintenance plan as quoted above?
6) Thoughts on the pricing of the tire protection plan described above?

Thank you so much! and hope to participate here more as I get close with my new friend

Oh btw, the dealership I bought from where one of the best I have ever dealt with. Would refer them in a heartbeat.

Save yourself the $7500 and enjoy the vehicle. $2500 for an extra year of coverage isn't worth it. Maintenance plans are money makers for dealerships. For a fraction of the cost you can replace all the brakes, perform regular oil changes, replace filters and of course get some spare wiper blades. If you research, you'll find that you should be able to get all the parts for the front and rear brakes for around $600 for OE parts. The rest is pretty cheap in comparison so that's why it's not worth it. As for the tire protection package, again a money maker for the dealership. For the cost of that protection you could pretty much buy two sets of Continental DWS which will make your X5 feel so much better. My opinion is to ditch the Run Flats when it's time, it makes a world of difference.

This is all just my opinion but I think most here will agree.

By any chance is the dealership you are working with owned by Penske? Reason I ask is because they have their own BMW warranty programs that a couple of my friends have taken advantage of for a pretty low cost. I'm not much of a warranty guy so unfortunately I don't have any additional info to share on their options.

Ew to maintenance plan - last thing I would want to do is subject my car to 12-15k oil change intervals for any longer than the first owner did.

I also never bought tire insurance/wheel insurance -

I see your in service date is 8/2013 so that's excellent as you are like me, we got a late 2013 with 7/2013 in service so still 8 months of factory warranty - plus the CPO after that.

You live in California so your vehicle should be eligible for California emissions program (which is longer than Federal Emissions for the other states) so the emissions components will be under warranty for a long time based on the miles now.

You don't have to purchase anything now, at any time before the factory warranty expires in the next 8 months you can go to a dealership and purchase the factory extension if you feel you'd like to have that over the CPO -

I am considering purchasing the 12 month / 25k extension before the factory warranty is up but I want to see how the next few months go with ours -
