Is the pre-paid maintenance with it

Just picked up my f87 yesterday. Dealer does the standard asking if you want to buy this and that at time of purchase. They asked if I want the prepaid maintenance on it now which would be tax free and about half off. This price would include the need to change the brakes. These are the prices the provided me below. Would love to know if any of you did this at the time or purchase or regret not doing it etc. new to this as this is my first new M car. Thanks in advance!

3 year / 36k mileage - $1540
4 year / 50k mileage - $2979
5 year / 50k mileage - $4269

I picked mine up last week, the only thing I went with after the purchase but through the dealer was tint, had the guy come in and do it in the back of the dealership cause I didn't want it being driven anywhere by some random. After looking through all the warrantys etc I just decided it wasn't worth it. Then again I'm only planning on putting like 8,000-10,000 km a year on it.

I guess it depends how you take care of your cars, how long you plan on keeping it, how much you drive and how hard you're driving.

Thanks! No one else? Plenty of new M2 owners would love to hear what you ended up choosing and why.

I declined all the pre-paid maintenance because this is not a DD and time will run out long before my mileage will. I did buy the X-pel and tint thru the dealer since the work will be done by an outside shop I trust. I was able to negotiate the cost for this below what the dealer was asking initially.

I went with the four year because i drive this car more than my i8 and truck. And the last two services of my e92 m3 before trading it in for the m2 was just about $2k. It made sense for me to roll it into the loan than pay out of pocket for all those services. I know I'll hit the 50k mark in less than four years

I bought the free maintenance upgrade @ $600. BMW changed their free maintenance services for 2016 in that wear & tear items are no longer covered such as brakes, wiper blades etc. The upgrade now includes everything.

I picked up the $600 maintenance add on because it covers brake pads and rotors as well as the clutch. Not that I expect to need the clutch in the first 3 or 4 years but it's a small price for the insurance.

What are these prepaid maintenance options? Dealer-specific products?

I thought there was Ultimate Care+ ($600) and Ultimate Care+ and Ultimate Care Bundle ($2049):


I was planning to get the $600 plan because it was a no-brainer.

My 235 needed brake pads at 28 months. I expect the M2 will need them sooner. The 600 upgrade to include wear items, including brake pads and rotors, seemed like a no-brainer.

The $600 also allows transferability of the maintenance as well, which could increase your resale value. Important in the add on benefit is how long you will own the car. Brakes alone are not really covering the additional expense and who cares about wiper blades.

BMW ultimate care made a ton of sense to me for only $600 for my M2. My 235i needed brakes at 7k, 11k, 19k and 27k miles.
