Smile Maintenance or No Maintenance

Hi All, first post here - Im coming back to BMW after 3 years away at Jaguar in an XE P250 - Ok but niggly problems such as the reverse cams taking ages to switch on. Idling feeling like its always going to cut out.

Anyway back to BMW!! ordering tomorrow a 530e spec below;

Selected Options

300 Alpine White
21r 19in M Light M Dblspk664m+runf...
688 Loudspeaker System-Harman/Kar...
420 Sun Protection Glass
3ag Reversing Assistant Camera
4t8 Door Mirrors Auto Anti Dazzle...

It will be on contract hire, now BMW will charge £51 +vat if I take their maintenance package - including all servicing, tyres, brakes etc.

I'm looking at a 42-month contract (to get the price where I want) Will be doing 10k miles per annum.

Is it worth me taking the maintenance or doing it myself? As at 10k miles I was advised that its a service every 18k miles or 24 months, which would mean 2 services. But knowing with my previous F10 before without service, it seemed to want some sort of service whenever it wanted.

Unsure whether it is worth the £2142 + vat or better to pay for servicing etc myself.

ordering tomorrow - some urgent help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Again!
