These are clearly listed in the contract and I got the contract and read it thoroughly before purchasing. When I needed new warranties I went back to the same company because they handled claims properly on the Audi.

I’m not suggesting everyone should buy a warranty. Just sharing that it does work out well for some, especially if you go in knowing exactly what you are buying and have experience or know someone with experience with the company.
I appreciate that. I've got a year and some change left on my factory policy for my M4, but I am planning on keeping the car for longer than that so I'm already contemplating my next move. I would say that I'm above the novice level when it comes to wrenching, and have tools that I've accumulated over the years, but I'm definitely not excited about the prospect of handling major engine or transmission work myself, so finding a good warranty company that won't give me a fight if I need them is a big consideration.
