Read the plan carefully and clarify the dct coverage. Last time I read those warranty contracts they were clear on torque converter based automatics and traditional manual transmissions but not dct. Example. Clutch is excluded. Make sure language (meant for traditional manual gearbox obviously) won't be used against you if you have a dct failure.
Also ensure coverage for the adjustable dampers and roof mechanism.
It is a bit untrue the parts fail solely from use. Rubber seals will degrade over time even if the car is just sitting. That's why I think the roof and dampers should be covered.
Keep in mind the older e89 is just turning 4 years old so there isn't much data on the common long term failure points. DCT gearbox also is also only about 4 years only and isn't in widespread use (08 m3 is earliest application).
