Well is time for me to choose whether or not to extend the warranty on my car.
I was reading the letter while on the phone last night and there were two options that I saw on the letter. The first one is 9000 something for up to 15,000km and the second is 14000 something for up to 30,000km.
I don't know if I have read it wrong but my car now have 13,000km and if I choose the low km package it means that they will cover my car for another 1000 something km and I will be out of warranty so which means I have to get the high mileage package.
Did I read it wrong? Is $14,000 to warranty my car worth it? Inputs, thoughts?

Yeah so I read it, there's something to claim and one caught my attention. Tyre renewal 
But I am thinking do I need it? Would I spend 9000 on repair next year?

That's what I had done, I opted for the low milage, 12000km option for $9600. You mail back the form to BMWHK, saying your current mileage, and from that mileage on for the next 12000km, they will cover it. You don't have to be too honest when you write down your current mileage on the form, just don't be too far off, and you will be fine.
I think I need to put down something less if I want to buy the extended warranty.

Is only 12,000km for the low mileage option?? Damn I've driven 13,000 this year already you consider that high?

it should be 15000km for the low mileage and 30000km for the high mileage.And if you read that carefully, it says

Finally got my bike last week, been busy playing with it so not much browsing of this web now. But I must work on my cornering skill as I was pushed by a E60 520i while going up Stubbs road to visit a friend. Anyone know that guy? send him my regards
