Good to know on the ability to purchase maintenance at anytime. Makes sense. Also, all the W&T contracts the dealer sells are aftermarket, BMW does not sponsor them. You can get great pricing at the dealer if you are willing to dig in and negotiate. Mine is from Allstate purchased from the "Finance Manager" (aka extended warranty salesman) at dealer delivery.

Yeah, I saw your post. Was more informing that BMW has shifted their stance on transferability for those reading the thread who may be looking at ones with transfer built in.
I won’t offer myself up as authoritative, but I thought the “Refresh” fee could be applied to cars under the factory plan as you’d need that done to be able to extend it. If so, I imagine buying it from a non-BMW dealership wouldn’t matter all that much as you can likely get it refreshed by any BMW dealership. Like the few on the forum who offer good deals for members of the forum. Obviously, OP would need to ping Christine @ Steve Thomas BMW or another trusted dealer to confirm the actual limitations if it is important to them.
BMW does have a Wheel & Tire plan they sell directly. My selling dealer didn’t sell it though. Steve Thomas BMW sells it, but can’t do it after the sale. But my aftermarket plan is a lot better anyway and a lot cheaper.
