About to be out of warranty - any advice?

So nearing the end of coverage and wondering what advice you guys have in terms of what to expect for maintenance costs and any unforeseen repairs, or have your cars been great after the warranty has expired? I'm wondering if it's worth it to get extended coverage or what other preparations should I do?

Another issue is that I've only been changing the oil according to BMW's schedule (20,000kms/~12,000 miles), which I understand is rubbish and changes should be done at 1/2 that interval - I intend to do that now, but is there anything I should do to make up for the past long internals (e.g. use an oil addictive, engine cleaner, STP product, etc?).

For reference, my car is 2 yrs old and almost 80,000kms (~49,700 miles).

Thx in advance.
