BMW Ultimate Care+
Guys - On the M2C, what are the service requirements for the first 3 years (assuming <10k miles per year)? Is it worth buying the BMW Ultimate Care+ for $700 for the M2C?
Thanks |

The $700 will cover brakes, wiper blades and even the clutch for the duration of the 36 months.
Up to you if you see value in that or think it might be worth it. |

Ok, I thought it covered maintenance like oil changes, etc?
Does BMW still include maintenance for 4yrs/50? |

It's not Mercedes. Oil changes still included in base price, other stuff is not

https://www.bmwusa.com/explore/bmw-v...onditions.html Warranty is 4 years/ 50K If you drive less than 10K/year you will never recoup the $700 fees b/c you shouldn't need new brakes and surely not a clutch. |

I do live in a city with a lot of stop and go traffic but I'm not really hard on the brakes, per se, so you might be surprise how fast brake wear creeps up on you. Also, the brakes pads for your vehicle retail for $280, with BMW labor, figure $700 would at least pay for itself with one brake change, if they also swap the rotors ($391 per side), which is also included under this plan. BTW, the $700 price is negotiable, so try to bring it down to 5 to $600, take it or leave it. |

So, if I understand correctly, maintenance is included for 3yr/36k and warranty is 4yr/50k.
Thanks guys |

The chart on the right is what's covered and excluded for 36 months, 36k, if you don't opt of the $700 maintenance plan. |

What the $700 Ultimate Care+ plan does is reinstates the old inclusive plan for just 3 years, 36 months, to include all the stuff I listed above. That's my point for suggesting he opt for it. I had it on all my BMWs including two Minis and believe me, I more than got my moneys worth. Then again, I know how the play the system, so results might vary. |

I'm not sure if you have a manual but the clutch and brakes are the most expensive maintenance items, everything else you can pretty much pay out of pocket and still break even. The rotors alone are like $400 a side and honestly, they never really change them anyways and it if they do, it requires a lot of convincing or some sort of subterfuge. However, if you're going to replace the braking system anyways with something aftermarket and don't drive a stick, then I guess it's kind of pointless to opt for the UC+ plan. May I ask why you interfering with the brake setup. They're already lightweight aluminum, drilled and slotted and is an overkill for the power the original M2 is capable of. Seems like an unnecessary upgrade, unless you track your vehicle. |
