I want it to be BMW who screws me over when the time comes, not some stranger. I'm used to it.

On another note. I was asking him if he would recommend that I should get extended warranty based on what he sees coming in. His answer was that he did not think it was worth it. He said he has only seen a few cases of 650 transfer case replacement come in. Otherwise, nothing major $$. After thinking about it a little, a transfer case replacement probably would cover a $5K warranty policy

Wow, an honest man.
Or a really uninformed man. Check with another dealer, as I don't believe the info you are being provided is accurate. As to the necessity of a warranty, it depends on your risk aversion and the depth of your pocket, and your ownership horizon, etc.

650's have been pretty solid so far, but if something goes wrong it will be an expensive fix for sure.
