Extended warranty owners?!? Chime in please! :-)

Hey everyone. I just picked up a 2008 M3. It's super mint. The previous owner only put 14,500 miles on it and was very anal about the car. It was taken in the dealer every 4k for oil changes and it never had a mechanical problem/failure. The car feels like brand new. But it's out of warranty. I've called around and got some options.

BMW power train plus 2yr/24k for 2800$.

Or

Fidelity PLATINUM bumper 2 bumper ( which claim to cover all expect wear and tear item such as paint interior break pads etc. ) for 3 years/36k for $2250
From the dealer I usually go service though.

Now I know the fidelity deal sounds fantastic but it sort of sounds to good to be true. And I'm scared they may decline huge $$$ problems/repairs.

I'm not really worried about the car. It seems so solid. But rod bearing failures coming up more frequently and the throttle actuators and it might be worth the extension. Let alone catastrophic engine or transmission failure.

What do you guys think?
Thanks
