BMW Ultimate Care Maintenance not transferable

All new BMWs bought from a dealer comes with the complimentary 3 year/36,000 mile scheduled maintenance program for the original buyer. Since I've seen quite a few M2s already exchange hands here on the forum (I am the 2nd owner of a M2 with 205 miles on the odometer) I thought it would be good to for others to know that BMW offers a program called Refresh which can be purchased by non-original owners from their local dealers. I'm about to find out what cost is and will report back.

My dealer set me up and transferred the maintenance over to me. The program is called "Refresh". The cost was $100.

Is this "Refresh" program up to certain amount of miles on demos for 2nd owners? You are getting the 3/36k plus for an extra $100 bucks?

It is the 3/36 for $100. They simply give non original owners the option to keep the factory coverage.

Would you mind telling us which dealership set you up with this? im trying to call my local dealership to find out but no one is picking up.

I was curious if the same would be for a MY 2016 M2 with the 4year/50K maintenance if it is a 100 dollar transfer to the new owner.

Just curious, Why would you "of course" not do it? i figure 700 bucks would pay for one brake job in itself, and that would be for the 4 year 50k miles warranty right? Serious question! so if you can educate me on why it would be a no brainer to not transfer the maintenance program.

Thank you!

Car was bought near the end of '16 with 12k on it an I weighed what else would have needed to be done on it vs what it would cost me and I was way ahead. I changed pad compounds so that nulls the pad/rotor warranty. They don't change trans/diff fluid after the 1200 mile break in. They only do scheduled items and i looked at what else was left and decided to keep my money

so im going to pick one up with 7k miles, i dont plan on changing the compound of the brakes, and i was reading the the clutch is also included, keeping those things in mind, the 700 for my situation, do you think it would be worth it to transfer that maintenance program? i dont think ill be tracking or AUTO X but ill still be doing the occasional canyon session prolly once or twice a month.

If your not a big do it your selfer and don't plan on really modding out the car and its a DD it is a good piece of mind

The price for the refresh is totally negociable.

My dealer originally wanted 700-800 as well and I talked them down to 400.

Good luck.

I found this out after I bought my M2 (I'm the second owner) and read it on the original window sticker. Do I call my dealer and ask for the refresh program? Does anyone know how much the 10k miles service runs?

Edit - Just spoke to them and it's $700 to transfer, non-negotiable.

2017 and newer cost $100 to refresh as brakes and wipers are no longer covered.

I spoke to another dealer and they quoted me $700 non-negotiable.
They said the original service warranty does not cover brakes or wiper blades but if I paid into this program it would cover those items and spark plugs. Is 700 worth it cus all I'm seeing as far as maintenance goes is just oil changes.
