This puts BMW right in line with all other luxury car makes except Cadillac. I don't care about the free oil changes and will now look at overall maintenance schedules for every brand I am thinking of. I significantly upgraded BMW because of the warranty. I especially loved it for my wife because she didn't have to be hassled with random dealer repair fees. I expect a lot of random brake jobs going forward.
Favorable BMW leases are now the only thing keeping me in a BMW (financially speaking only).
So within a space of 3 years we have decreased the ED savings from 7% to 5%, lost automatic transferred maintenance, and have a weakened maintenance plan.
Brutal.
