Extended warranty and maintenance plans question on 19 M2C

Hey yall.. searched through this forum looking for this and didnt find a clear answer.

I just picked up a 19 M2C Monday and still have an ability to bolt on either an extended warranty, maintenance plan or both. I have a very tight window of time, and initially declined that at the dealership.

I HAD thought the existing maintenance plan would transfer but sounds like not the case.

As is: warranty remains for roughly 2.5 years.
maintenance plan: none

The LEAST of the maintenance plans is $2k, which sure, tacked onto my loan is a few extra dollars a month, but is it worth it?

With so much of the maintenance being when it needs it, rather than time or miles based, I am having a hard time calculating the worth of it.

Basic things.. plugs, oil, brakes pads, flush, blah blah blah I can do myself.

As more experienced M2C owners, is it worth it for me to add at least the minimum maintenance package?

Thanks.. need opinions ASAP please!! I have roughly 24 hours to add this on or not.

i think you've answered you own question...

Maintenance
why pay for something that you can DIY?
- gives you additional content for your channel
- more content could lead to monetization

Extended Warranty
- Monetization from YT can help pay for this.

I appreciate and get that.. some of this is just trying to fully understand the opportunity I have while I have it.

Plus.. **laugh** I havent had a car under warranty in YEARS.. what a crazy thing!

The warranty is good for another 2.5 years, and might leave that as is and then figuring out about the maintenance plan. Feels like I can cover that myself really but hoping for more info.

Like what have other owners run into.. anything I might not know.

i think you can use the remaining factory warranty to determine if you will need an extended warranty. it could be from BMW or a third party. with new or up to 12 month old car, GEICO offers a mechanical breakdown coverage as part of their auto insurance.

You can add the BMW warranty anytime as long as the original warranty is still enforce. I would wait and see if you have any problems.
