This kind of sucks for those who like to buy cars after the initial depreciation hits. I did that on my previous BMW (E90 335i) and bought it at a year old and with only 12000 miles on the dash. The price I bought the car for was ridiculous (was right in the middle of the recession) and I fully took advantage of 3 years left of standard warranty and maintenance and then extended both warranty and maintenance for 2 years.
This would likely make me rethink that strategy if I was looking to buy a barely used BMW again, since I milked the crap out of that maintenance plan.
