is extended maintenance worth it?
My '17 M2 6 speed manual is now out of maintenance. the dealer is trying to sell me 2 years worth for 3,100$
this is my unmodified street car. I drive about 8k per year. by my best guestimate this is two servicings over the next two years. it would amount to: 2 oil changes 2 cabin filters maybe 1 diff oil change (maybe not) 1 brake flud change 1 set of spark plugs. maybe a set of brake pads and rotors. by my calculations even at the dealer this should not cost 3,100 bux. is my logic sound? am i missing something or just outrageous profits for the BMW dealership? thanks dan |

I am in the same boat here and have been thinking along the same cost/benefit analysis recently.
One additional benefit with ext warranty is if you plan to sell the car over the next 2 yrs, then it may add additional credibility. If you are not planning on selling the car, with your mileage, it may not be worth it IMO. |

IMO it's not going to be worth it to you with the mileage you drive.

The question really is are you happy and comfortable to do the work yourself or not. If you prefer dropping the car off, getting a loaner/shuttle, and having documented records with guarantees for parts and labor, then maybe, and you can sometime negotiate these plans and bring them more into your favor.
I always decline these as what they cover is very easy to DIY and I enjoy wrenching on these beasts myself, to a point. |
