I'm on the fence about getting an extended warranty. I got one on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler when I bought it new, and I don't think in the last 94,000 miles I recouped the cost. I know they warranty it to a certain point because the odds are in their favor nothing will happen. I know this is a big money maker for the dealership. I've already paid MSRP for everything else, the last thing I want to do is add on to the cost.
I've been reading this forum for about a year and so far I've gathered these cars are so new still, none of them have reached that high mileage territory where things start to break.
The only thing I can think of that's a common issue with these cars is the amplifier, which seems to break randomly. Is there anything else?
What do you guys think? What did you do? Any regrets on if you did, or didn't?
Thanks ahead of time.

Never.
BMW knows the odds of something breaking better than you and they price the warranty accordingly. They are making a profit on it so most people who are buying it are losing. They are capitalizing off of the asymmetry if information they have vs what we have.
Warranty is like insurance. It’s to cover you for losses you can’t afford to cover yourself. If you can afford an M2 you can afford repairs in the unlikely event that you’ll have an issue.
