Just keep in mind an "extended warranty" is really nothing but an insurance policy against major component failures and labor costs. So make sure you read and understand all that the insurance policy really covers and what it does not cover. Just like health/life insurance you are at the mercy of what the policy originator decides to cover. Plus there will almost always be a deductible or copay. Consider what that will cost versus the purchase cost. Also look close at what something like a clutch job costs and what it will cover. Not really a warranty in my book.
Consider the actual payback for the cost of an extended warranty versus what you might likely pay. Make sure it covers or differentiates between what is repair costs of "maintenance/wear" items like a clutch assembly versus something major line a final drive failure.
The clutch is a normal wear item, like tires, batteries, fluid changes, etc.
If you plan to keep the bike for many, many years, and if you don't wrench on your bike yourself and never intend to do it, then the policy may be worth it.
Seems fairly obvious that the best is the one your BMW dealer likes best.

I don't believe in the concept of an extended warranty for any vehicle. I figure anything major will happen in the first three years/36k miles. The extended warranty is usually full of loopholes, and normal wear and maintenance are excluded.
The biggest reason is this: Extended warranties are a profit item for the insurance companies. That means, they expect to profit handsomely from it. Profit means revenue less expenses. Which means you should pay for your expenses and not pay the insurance company their profit margin. It is cheaper that way. And one can safely assume the insurance company has done the probability math/chances of a breakdown for your vehicle forcing them to pay. Most consumer magazines do not recommend them.
Besides, when dealers ask me about them, I respond, "What? You've sold me a piece of junk? I thought you only sold good vehicles." Based on past experience, I would have never collected on any extended warranty.
I found Western Service...they were sold and are here now:
