Did anyone spring for the BMW Maintenance Program?

jmg · 02-20-2019, 08:55 PM

The BMW Maintenance Program on my 2016 M3 really spoiled me. So I paid an extra $600 for my M3 CS simply because included brakes and rotors, which I tend to burn through. I don't remember everything else it covers, because the brakes alone had me sold. Unfortunately I did not negotiate the cost, which I now know I should have. Did anyone else get it for cheaper or not even bother?

The windshield wipers are also something that was covered by the old maintenance but not by the new program. When i got my CS 6 weeks ago the dealer was quoting me $30 per month. I opted out not bc of of the price they were quoting but bc on my 2016 there's still plenty of brake pad left.

I don't blame you. $30 is a lot, but I burned through 2 sets on my M3. Hopefully it pays for itself.

got it on my M2 and dealer declined any discount claiming minimal margins and did not feel like arguing at that time over !0 % or so

Bought my car late on a Friday. Showed up close to close and had this thrown in at no cost. No idea what it includes but got free wipers out of it at my first service.

Nope. Never bought extended warranties or maintenance programs.

You won't go through brake pads unless you're tracking or racing from stop light to stop light.

I had to pass on it and everything else they offered. The Finance Manager concluded his presentation and asked "how many of these programs would you like to add?". I replied, "None." He awkwardly stared at me for a few seconds and then said, "Ok" in a "suit yourself" kind of way.

This is the best part . I just stare back . First person to say something loses.

This is what I usually do. Hard pass on everything. I went against my steadfast tradition and got the program. Now I hope I just burn through some brakes!

I know there are a number of members who drive their car hard in the canyons and/or take it to the track. Let me ask you this: if the dealer is inclined to believe you "race" your vehicle, are they able to deny the brake service covered under the warranty program? What I mean by evidence is, there's no way you will need to replace brakes 5 times during the course of a 36 month, 10k mile per year lease.

Competitive wheel to wheel racing is much different than HPDE one would think.

What about the brake fluid flush, does anyone know if the regular maintenance program covers that?
