CPO WILL JUST COVER MAJOR PARTS (ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, STEERING, FRAME...), THERE ARE DIFFERENT 3RD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTIES, HOW MUCH YOU PAY FOR THE 3RD PARTY WARRANTY WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF THE CAR IT COVERS!!!!!!!! Sorry, I had to

Considering the cost of many BMW repairs, it may well be worth it, especially if it includes maintenance too!

NOT TRUE

I can have more coverage with less premium and you can end up with shitty coverage and pay much more. It depends upon how WELL you negotiate and how much they rip you off (or try to).
