Recently purchased my first BM" and M car - a 2018 M2 LCI, 23k miles on the clock.

Been given the below quote for a 2 year service plan from the local BMW dealer. As its my first BMW I'm none the wiser - would appreciate some views on if this sounds about right? Is it good value or a bit steep? The woman told me there is a 30% discount on having a plan vs paying on demand which sounds a bit too good to be true.

This might be naïve, but if I build up a balance with them, how do I know they won't crank up the costs of my maintenance because they know I have money in the plan to pay for it? Is there an argument to open your own bank account and pay into it yourself?

I'm based in the UK, if this matters at all in difference vs main Europe or USA plans.
