Are BMW maintenance plans worth it with EVs?

I am looking through the configurator and wondering if $2,749 for BMW Ultimate Care+ 4 worth it. I intend to keep the car for 10 years, maybe even more. It extends the general coverage and pays for the break pads and wiper blades. Given that the battery is already covered, and I'd think the electric systems to last forever if they survive the first 3 years.
Is it peace of mind or waste of money?

>Purchase BMW Ultimate Care+4, which includes UC+, to add: Replacement of specific wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, wiper blades and manual transmission clutch. Ultimate Care+ is transferable to a subsequent owner, should you sell your vehicle. With purchasing this bundle, you will also extend your coverage with BMW Ultimate Care+ 4 for an additional 4 years or 89,000 miles for a total of 7 years or 125,000 miles.

Is panoramic sunroof a real feature or gimmick in real life?

I'm looking at the online configurator, and trying to figure out some details. The cost of the panoramic sunroof is only $750, but I am skeptical it will be a loved feature in real life. I live in the New England's country side. Depending on the season, the top of the car gets covered with snow, ice, leaves, pollen, bird poop, etc. I get that it looks nice in theory and makes interior more welcoming but the sunroof in my current car is always shut and its shade is closed because the glass is cold is winter, the sun is hot in summer, and so on.
What's the hivemind opinion on that particular feature?
