I heard there are two kind extend warranty. One is only protect your power train another is protect your whole car.

I bought my car CPO from a BMW dealer & paid almost $6K for an extension on the warranty for 36 months. Below is a list of what is and what is not covered. It can be a little tricky. I just took it in to get my charge pipes replaced as I noticed cracking in one of them. However as the part is a rubber hose, it was deemed a wear & tear item and was not covered. Overall I think it basically means anything that is not supposed to break vs something that needs replacing because it wears down. I think that if the car will be your daily that you should budget an extra $10K for a full warranty.
