Naturally, I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't come to pass. That would be a major strategic blunder for BMW in my opinion.

Like I said, my wife prefers Audi, but she said "If I can't get the full 'everything but the tires' service plan, I want the BMW." That is a direct quote during the last round, where she selected a (loaded, built to order) 2015 328xit delivered in May. If it wasn't for the maintenance plan, this would be a Q5s. She even asked me to find a plan, that was like the BMW one, for the Q5s. We couldn't, and although her grading had the Q5s at about a 10% favorite we went BMW. I'm pro BMW, but this was THE deciding factor.
This is the same rational that has been applied for her last 3 vehicles. That is $150k in the last 5 years that would have been Audi instead of BMW. If the BMW marketing people that watch this site doubt me, they can feel free to contact me for proof. This rumored maintenance change is a bad idea for them.
