Upgrade to Ultimate care+ $700 for brakes?

Anyone upgraded to the ultimate care + plan for $700 when they are nearing the need for new brakes? Seems this can be done as long as the car has under $60k miles. I've read a few threads about this being done. Seems worth it since it can be added as needed.

I'm curious how this works with track use. My rotors are getting eaten by the pads on track use and it could be a financial gain to pay it up front.

I'm reading that it doesn't matter. I wouldn't go into the dealership vocalizing the track use. I would imagine you'd have no problems as long as you have reasonable mileage on the car. Who is to say you aren't carving it up on the roads where you live. That's perfectly reasonable use. Some dealerships don't seem to care about track use, and others do. I'll likely need to pads prior to 36k miles and will test it out. There is also a window to cancel the added insurance if they refused the claim. Wait and add it right before scheduling service. If denied, then cancel the coverage. This does tie you to the BMW pads.

Asking about track use is like asking about religion and politics.
Best just not to say anything and see how it goes.

The sales admin at my dealer who sold me my extended warranty takes his car and his son's to the track and said "they won't know what you don't tell them", but every dealer will be different, unfortunately.

I just started a new thread about this, but I got the package and they specifically said track use was allowed as long as it wasn't racing or timed events. There was also some discussion about frequency, but I was assured that the use case I presented was acceptable.
