I have ordered a 2006 325i and am trying to decide about the agreements that my dealership offered. There is a 4 year tire program for $575 and the extended warranty to extend the coverage from 4/40 to 6/100 for $2500ish.
Any sage advice out there?

Any sage advice out there? | You don't have to buy the extended warranty now, wait 3 and half years. If you still have the car, still like it, and plan on keeping it, buy the warranty then. Put the $2500 in the bank, and grow the investment.
As for the tire program, does this cover the rims? If you have very low profile tires, (i.e. sport package) you may want to consider it. And that is a big MAY.
Just my humble opinion

Just to add on to the other post, there's no reason to buy the 'warranty' now when you can buy it later. Also, it's not a true warranty, and excludes made items.
The tire warranty sounds like a joke. Just use that money to buy replacement tires when the time arises.

The tire warranty doesn't cover the rims and i didn't get the low profile. They claim that the run-flats are close to $500 each and shouldn't be repaired when they get punctured. I tend to agree with the extended warranty but really was confused about the run flat experience.
Thanks for the advice.

Be wary of tire warranties.
If you went to discount tire, and bought new tires, they would sell you the same road hazard warranty for about $20 per tire.
Just like discount tire, the warranty from the dealer is prorated as well, has to be so much tread left.
Normal road hazard applies. If you run over a curb, you may not be covered.
A lot of fine print you have to read.
I agree with the previous post. Put the money in the bank and take your changes.
Oh, a run flat can be repaired/plugged as long as the damage is not on the sidewall.
Also, I am not sure if the warranty BMW sells covers subsequent sets of tires you purchase.
