I did understand. I was explaining that
it would be dumb to not pay for preventative maintenance simply to make a warranty company pay for things when you let them fail out of (what amounts to) negligence.
TA's, water pumps, gaskets, alternators, etc can be replaced under warranty as they fail. For a major item like rod bearings which have a known fix that prevents total engine failure, it would be foolish to not to perform the maintenance if you had the means- warranty or not.
As stated above... A warranty is not an investment that you should expect to get a 100% return on. Although it works out that way for many M3 owners, it's twisted thinking to forego one because you think you might not. It's like any other insurance. Nobody likes paying for it, but if you have a claim you'll be glad you have it.
