This is (will, i don't get the car until March) my first BMW and I was worried about expensive repairs and maintenance. After doing some research it seemed like $3,000 set aside would more than cover me for any typical visits to a repair shop.

I've known people who have grenaded N/A American made V8s engines that have been in production for half a decade and have extensive history of successful tunes because of a single sensor failure. The risk is fairly low but the impact is very high if something goes wrong. 3k wont even touch the cost of repairs on a grenaded engine without warranty.
In as much as I respect your opinion and your willingness to soak up risk, the option of voiding my warranty and the possibility of a 20k scares me off.
