So really to get back to the original question which is on Maintenance not warranty I would recommend that you pass and find an independent bmw specialist to take your car to. In general if you find a good one they will be cheaper than the dealer and many times don't care if you bring in the parts etc. The good shops are usually run by or employ ex-bmw certified techs.

As for Warranty I would actually suggest people look into insuring with Geico has a program called Mechanical Breakdown coverage. It will basically provide coverage up to 7 years and 100k on all major components. You have to start paying it when you first get the car but i did some calcs and in the long run its a lot cheaper than buying a $7k gold plan from bmw. That being said if ur not sure that ur going to keep the car for that duration it may not be the best option for u as it isnt transferable etc. just my 2 cents.
