Carbon brakes aren't covered by BMW's four-year maintenance plan
This may be old news to some of you on here, but it's new news to me. I'm now canceling my carbon brake order. Frustrating.
"It should also be noted that BMW's four-year maintenance plan covers replacement rotors and pads, but it will not cover the carbon option. So at $8,000 for the upgrade and about $2,000 per corner for replacement rotors that's something to be considered." http://carbuying.jalopnik.com/what-y...ium=socialflow

Maybe you should call your dealer and verify it then.

If you have word from BMW that is not the case, you should have come straight out and said it instead of using jalopnik as your reference. Just giving friendly advice. |

I have ccb and to be honest don't care if they cover or not. However, the dealers all conflict each other on coverage and there is no clarity on this issue from BMW corporate directly to the consumer. Until then it is all speculation and conjecture.

Are you sure this is the case? This was the case for the first year they were available, and the maintenance contract specifically excluded them. That exclusion language is no longer in the contract, so on what grounds would they deny coverage?

You know, you could have waited 5 minutes until after your phone call to make a new thread. Or, edited your original post with amplifying information. All extremely difficult and challenging choices, I know. |

Nope. Not sure. I only have a single dealer and a online magazine to refer to. If you guys want the CCBs, I recommend you call your local dealers and verify with them, just as I recommended to "champ" earlier.

let the ballars be ballars... obviosly when they choose 8k option on a brake system, they dont mind dollar figures. with right pads n fluids, stock steel rotors do just fine even in extreme conditions. so if you aint ballar, dont get it lol

Finally, something we can agree on. You definitely do have your panties in a bunch.

Exactly, there is no proof this is a BMW wide stance and shouldn't effect other people's decision. |

Lol, yet you're the one name-calling like a child ("champ", "sally", "exxtreme"). Amazing.

Wrong. The fact that there is confusion among dealers and also a Jalopnik article that references it, means that potential CCB owners should absolutely take this seriously enough to contact their dealers (as I already stated earlier) in order to find out their stance on it. Your above recommendation against doing this is rather, well, stupid.
