BMW M2 additional warranty question
Hey guys,
I am taking delivery from PCD East coast Oct 13.. dealer is Hendricks BMW Charlotte and I'm in KY. They are pushing me for additional tire care and wheel package and a paint protection plan. They keep dropping the price as I pass on it. T and W package down from $1432 to $979. Paint protection (includes a one time coat) for ~$999 however I have to drive there to get it done. Both are 6 years/unlimited mileage. Anyone have any insight on these packages? I realize the importance of the paint package however someone local can do a better ceramic one for $500 but warranty like Hendricks is offering. Anyone else getting these offers? Thanks!! |

As stated above, skip it. Dealer add-ons are never a good value for money.

Thanks everyone.. I was leaning that way.. the dealer doesn't know much about the warranties.. just trying to sell.. so I'll get my paint protection done locally

From what I've seen, the dealers will try to sell you the package but the protection is actually done by a third party agent either on site or at another location. I have a friend that tried to make a claim on one of these protection plans because the paint on the hood was eroding in spots even though there was supposed to have a layer of protection to prevent that. He sent pictures and everything and never got a response from the paint protection company. The dealer was pushing blame onto that company as well. So, I wouldn't do it.

Mine is Mineral Gray. M2 is probably on same ship (Drive Green Highway) on way/at Charleston today (Sep. 26). I refused to pay local dealer's "Limited Availability/Market Adjustment" mark up. Got mine through my old dealer in Knoxville, TN. I assume you did the same or sought a better allocation. |

What color will yours be? Again, mine is Mineral Gray, manual, sun roof, executive package. Never driven one, but I have ridden in one once (post flash flooding, very timid pace to say the least). Paying for mine next Friday and sadly insuring it for a month without taking possession. Insurance is needed in order to register it. |

I wasn't too happy with the local dealer as I waited 3 months for nothing. Look forward to seeing some pics when you get yours! |
