BMW Extended Vehicle Protection

I know that there have been many threads on this topic but I am looking for any CURRENT experiences and/or information on the BMW Extended Vehicle Protection plans.
My 2009 loaded 35i Zed is coming up to the end of the 4yr/50,000 factory warranty on 6/30/13.
It only has 27K in which I put the last 1000 miles on it after my pre-owned purchase at 26K miles.
I most likely will only put 2-4K miles per year on it, as it is my fun car, so I am not worried about miles BUT am concerned about age and time.
The BMW Extended Vehicle Protection is offering:
1. PowerTrain Plus (PT) for 36 months and 70,000 miles for $2,180.
2. Gold- for 36 months or 70K for $3,140.
I am leaning towards the PT and self insure the difference.
I am a very good mechanic, BUT I cannot repair the DCT Trans, turbos or the high tech parts on this machice which are costly.
I have weighed the self insurance side based upon my low mileage and then set aside mainteniance funds for repairs. This wll be Difficult at best with 2 kids in college.
This car MUST be maintained which I will do or else.
Has anybody purchased this plan or similar recently?.
If so, from where and who has the best price for the BMW same plan?.
I have seens Dealers offer these plans at discounted prices or Promo's. Any out there right now. BMW of New Haven is offering $100 off until 4-1-13
If I am going to buy a plan it will be from Bimmer ONLY and not an after market plan.

Your opinions are valued. Thanx in Advance
