335d about to go out of warranty

Hi guys, I've got a 2011 lci 335d about to hit 80000km and was wondering what I should be looking for to get done to the car before the warranty runs out.



Currenty living in Ontario, and work was done on the car at bmw Autohaus and Maranello bmw. This involved oil changes, recalls and cracked/ripped water seals on front door.



I changed brake pads to aftermarket because of the dust on oem and went with OEM rotors. Loving the combination however dont remember the names of the pads. Work was done at Bavarian Motors, a great shop in Markham if anyone is looking.



Mainly I just want the car to be 'perfect' and get the most out of the warranty before it expires. I hit a pothole on the 401 about 2 months ago and blew a tire. It was replaced under tire warranty by a student intern at bmw autohaus through 3rd party. However the car seems to have started to vibrate when braking, probably need to check out the suspension and more recently the flat tire monitor goes crazy and once was combined with the abs warning light. All leading me to believe its a tire sensor.



1. Aside from that what else could I use the warranty for before it runs out? I've been reading about carbon cleaning, however my car doesn't seem to be running any rougher since I got it in 2011.



2. What is the best place (local) to get a rear tow hook cover (fell off when i hit the pothole) and drivers side lower front mesh as I just noticed it was cracked.



3. What do you guys think of 3rd party extended warranties? My current view is if the car needs to be serviced I will pay for it to get done. I feel that BMW extended warranty is too overpriced just for 'peace of mind'
