Everyone has different circumstances but I am in the same position and not bothering with the pack as i worked it out and you need to remember that the service inclusive is 3yrs/36k miles so to get the full use of this, (taking CBS into consideration) you need to be covering around the full allocation of miles to get the 3 services, (including R.I.S).
So as most have a PCP deal, (large % will have a PCP on 8k) then to make use of the service pack you run the risk of excess mileage charges...at around 10p a mile. So to make use of something you are paying extra for you could end up paying more...yeah that is a joke IMO and a bit of a scam 
so paying £999 on something i won't really benefit from is not my idea of a smart move ;-)
On the costs I was quoted around £300 for R.I.S and the dealer indicated that the proper service will be around the same, (depends on inflation) |
I can see where you're. Coming from but the 2 things are t linked, PCP deals are based on mileage and if you're going to be doing way more than your 8k PCP charges for that are most likely coming no matter what? Also the service centre are in no way reporting back mileage to BMW finance.
For me I'm doing around 18k a year so the service lack would get fully utilised for me so makes sense. I can appreciate for others it wouldn't, although it is transferable and in theory sellable on as a feature of the car. However much as per trying to sell M Perf kit on with the car, highly unlikely to recoup much of the outlay!
Good luck, choices choices.
