Hey guys, I'm considering the maintenance program because my car will hit 50000 miles soon, but my dealer quoted my 1695, which I know is too much. I also know some on here have gotten theirs from another dealer around the country, due to the fact it doesn't matter which one you get it from. Now, I do have an independent tech that did/does a lot of my work. For example, oil change is like 65 rather than the 120 my dealer would charge. So, has anyone bought one recently at a lower price and if so which dealer. I know I should stop being a lame ass and just get the manuel many here speak of and do stuff myself, but I'm not sure I'd feel safe after I did my brakes

I went to a party at a downtown hotel last pm with valet parking. When the valet brought my car back to me, after 20 plus minutes, he apologized for the wait, then I drove home. Upon parking I could not lock the car with the remote key/fob combination on my 02 330i. The trunk release also would not work. The car started okay, but the remote features did not work. I manually locked the doors with the key in the drivers door. I used my spare set, and all functions work fine. I know it is not that the keys internal battery is weak, as the failed key is my daily user, and I use the spare every few months for a day or so. It was very rainy last pm, so the valet could have dropped it in a puddle, or I wonder if he placed the key in someone else's BMW, could this have reset the codes? There was a long delay till they brought me my car and I am sure something happened. Also my car returned with a new nice scratch on the rear bumper, like he backed into something. I know this is new as I washed the car just before the party. I believe a replacement key is $150. Could the dealer reset the key codes if it became out of sync? Could the dealer test the key? Sounds kinda weird that the key would fail all of a sudden....I will be calling the hotel on Monday.regarding rear bumper damage and key fob failure. Do these services have insurance? ...I hate valets... Next time we go to a place with valet, it's the wife's minivan, though I like to take my 330 out on on a nice out..
