I will note this - my 2009 M3 had just under 50k miles when I sold it, and I had planned on keeping it for basically ever - loved the car - but took it into the dealer for a service quote and they gave me a $3500 bill - with the only thing WRONG with it being a $200 replacement of one of the bushings. Rest of the stuff was just services that would have been handled under the BMW Service (think it was Service II maintenance trip?) Obviously I said no thanks.
Points being 1) as always, find a great non-dealer place to get your non-warrantied M serviced if you are keeping it, but 2) as we all know, repairing M anything is expensive, and 3) $4500 for only 1 yr seems high. If the car were new you could probably negotiate 2-3 years onto the end of the factory warranty for the $4500-7000 ballpark.
Which leads to the next question of whether or not you'd consider trading the car in to pick up another with the warranty on the front end. Or, if it's a lease, buying the car at lease termination and getting them to CPO it.
