BMW still includes maintenance, curious what your dealer told you. GLWS

Apparently BMW no longer offers the free oil and filter change, brake pads, etc. You only get one oil change for free. So I ended up paying close to $900 in 3-year maintenance.

I will call BMWNA and inquire about it now that you mentioned it.

Thanks!

Yea, they still offer it. What they did however was
1. Lower it to 3 years from 4
2. No long replace wear parts (brake pads and wiper blades)
3. Make it non-transferable unless you purchase your used car from a BMW dealer

So I suspect they talked you into this https://bmwusaservice.com/ultimatecare

Which most people don't need unless they drive a ton of miles or are really hard on their brakes.

You owe me dinner if you get your money back

You are right Doug; that's exactly what I purchased. Well worth it I think if I were to keep the car.

Thanks for sharing!

He won't get his money back, BMW does not allow you to cancel the maintenance plan unless the car is totaled.

I would argue that if a dealer said "maintenance is no longer included, you should give me $900" and that is a lie, then he could get the money back

Well we don't know if he was told a lie. Can't always assume dealers are liars. That's why I make sure to read everything I sign when I buy a car and ask the necessary questions so there's no misunderstanding. Bmw will not refund maintenance it would have to be at dealer level. I took the maintenance because it's a great ideal. No more brake coverage ?! Yeah I'm not paying $2000 for brakes when it's time. I consider it a huge peace of mind. Some people like having the protection some don't.

I bought the package on my M2 and it is transferable according to BMW
it was 600 , so I felt if I use it for the brakes alone , it is worth it

I just did the same when I took over the lease for X6m and in the documents is saying clearly its transferable to the next "owner"; in my case it was $700...and the bill for changing oil, filters, battery was about $600...so no brainer

I'm not sure how lease transfers work - since you are not going through a BMW dealer, if I'm reading correctly, there is a fee to keep the "included" maintenance. Is that correct? Because as noted, Maintenance is most certainly included on all new BMWs.

Totally agree - however, interesting the OP was under the belief that maintenance was no longer included with new BMWs.

and... I'm not aware of too many BMWs requiring brakes in the first 36,000 miles. I'm sure it is possible, however I think the $600 wear item coverage is subject to normal wear and tear (meaning they find out you are tracking it, and it is not covered).

I will say this - our Mini (which has a similar warranty to BMW) had a bad brake shudder and BMW did change out the rotors and pads (as a one time goodwill gesture).
