I wouldn't mind a 7/70 powertrain/gold, but NOT for almost $5k!!!! The likelihood of something major going wrong in the first 70k is pretty small. The E9x has proven to be a very reliable car. Clark Howard(financial adviser) feels that extended warranties are almost always not worth the money dealerships charge. They prey on your fears that something unlikely will happen to the car. I might pay $2500 to extend my warranty for a couple years and 20k for some peace of mind but any more than that doesn't make too much sense, especially on a car like mine with only 3 options(SAT radio, Comfort Access and Carbon Leather trim).
