BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade?
Hi there,
I have a 2008 535i and am getting close to putting about 47000 miles to my car. I am considering the BMW Maintenance Upgrade Program option (6 yrs/100K miles) and want to know what people's opinion of this option is. 1. Is the BMW Maintenance Program price negotiable at the dealership, or is it pretty much a fixed cost? 2. From my understanding, this extends the current standard maintenance program so all the routine services (oil service, inspection, scheduled brake services, etc.) are all inclusive. Am I correct? Thanks in advance. Kenny

I think its worth it, I have the same warranty and I haven't had any major problems dealing with BMW on it. however you should consider your dirving, what I mean is, will you hit the mileage mark before the time runs out if so I think you should go for it, I will not reach the 100k before mine runs out and I'm pretty upset because of that.
Just a thought. |

Given that I put 47k in 3 years I think I will be pretty close to it. Just to confirm, with the upgrade program you do not have to pay for any maintenance, as if it's still under the 4 yr/50k plan, correct?
Also, did you get it when you purchased the car, or did you add the option afterward? Is the cost negotiable? Thanks. Kenny

Yes you are correct to a degree, MOST of the maintenance are covered as long as its outlined in the extended plan it will be free. Cosmetic and wear and tear items are NOT covered so if you need new windshield wipers, or tires you will have to pay for it.
I got mine afterwards and I don't remember if I negotiated or even if its possible I just thought it was a great deal so I didn't think twice about negotiating. Hope that helps |
