I have a Z4 2.5i (2004) - 46,400 miles. I purchased it in 2010 when the odometer read 43,300.

My warranty has expired. I have checked with CARCHEX and the quote i got was $2500 for 3 yrs/ 36,000 miles. Is it worth buying considering the fact that, it wouldn't cover any maintenance cost. Btw, Whats your average annual maintenance cost?

Following are NOT covered by the warranty.

battery, brake drums, disc brake rotors, brake linings and disc brake caliper pads, shock absorbers, bolts, nuts,
fasteners, standard transmission clutch assembly, and manual and hydraulic linkages. Passive
or active safety and restraint systems and any sensors/components related to the operations of
these systems. All electric powered or hybrid fuel parts including, but not limited to: electric
fuel cells, regenerative braking systems or electronic memory systems
