That $1,200 is better spent covering the cost of upgrading the IMS bearing. Doubt your warranty company is going to cover an IMS failure.
The language in those warranties is typically pretty explicit. You have to have all maintenance done on time, at a 'certified' shop, not sure if this means the dealer in your case, but usually NOTHING can be DIY, not an oil change or a simple air filter replacement. All work most be documented and timely. Which means you'll have spent a nice chunk of change on service.
Once you exlcude wear and tear items which are almost never covered, the warranty really covers very little. Basically the only warranty worth having is the extended one directly from the factory. Put your extra cash towards an annual $2K nest egg for the major maintenance items that come in around 60-80K miles.
