Alternatively you could take your car to a reputable BMW accredited independent shop after the original warranty expires and probably save money.
Oh yeah, congrats on the new ride!

Thanks! I'll definitely be doing some more cost comparisons.

Congrats. I really liked the EBII, but couldn't quite get the fiancé on board with that one. I really liked my TL - it's a great car - but after I test drove a 235, it's just been horrendously unsatisfying.

I also got a 6spd 235. Maybe I'll get bumped up and we can do a photoshoot.

I'm still in 112 as well, which is killing me. I know I shouldn't check the order status every day, but I just can't help myself.

Speaking of waiting, you don't have to buy the extended warranty immediately. You can wait until your warranty is about to run out. That way you can decide if you're going to keep the car or not. If you decide not to keep it then you didn't waste money on the extended warranty. You can also shop around the price of the warranty with different dealers.

Congrats! You're getting real close. I bet the last month will be worse than those first few weeks.
My main concern with delaying the extended maintenance plan was BMW's decision to tweak how the maintenance works/what it covers. If I go ahead and buy it now, the extended maintenance will continue covering the brakes, clutch, etc., but I'm not sure if that will be the case if I try to extend it in ~2 years or so. Sounds like a topic that would be worth doing a bit of digging for information.
