The 2 year warranty on my 2015 s1000rr is about to run out shortly do you guys reckon it's worth renewing it with bmw or find another warranty company to cover it?

I think it's about ?35 a month. That also includes recovery. Like any insurance you only see the value when you need it. My personal experience is that I have had a number of significant repairs/replaced items under the BMW extended warranty which has far exceeded the cost of the cover, plus it will help the residual value of the bike if it has been kept under BMW warranty.
Using a third party for warranty may be fine but it will be another hoop to jump through if a claim is required.
I had a bad experience with warranty direct years ago on a car so my opinion of non manufacturer warranties is rather tainted. On a previous BMW bike I had, the BMW dealer talked me into a third party warranty because it was cheaper (and I presume more lucrative for them), and no surprise that when it came to a claim the third party rejected it (BMW would have paid out). In that instance I kicked off big time with the dealer for obvious reasons and they covered it themselves. But I learnt my lesson on that.

I'm in the same quandary. There have been a couple of things with my bike that have made me want the warranty, but it is a lot of money. I didn't realise it included their recovery service though, that makes it a bit easier to swallow.
It is recovery to the nearest BMW dealer unless you buy the upgraded recovery service.

AIUI the extended warranty only provides recovery in the UK.

Recovery has always been part of my motorcycle insurance policy here in Ireland
Only ever needed to use it once in 27 years commuting and that was on my bmw

correct, although the insured emergency assist does cover Europe.

I presume Stuart will have this better cover because his bike ends up visiting places not on the map lol.
