My impression is that second/third owners of M3s are much less frightened by this platform than purchasers of used N54/N55s. I wouldn't spend extra money on the warranty unless you personally want it. I would not expect it to add anywhere close to its initial cost to your resale price. I have no experience with "returning" a warranty to get some money back - I can tell you that as a recent buyer of a used M I would not want to pay a premium for a car on which I didn't even want a warranty and then try to deal with some hassle of a pro-rated return.

I looked at many used M3s before I bought mine. Never considered an extended warranty a big selling point; condition and miles was way more important.
