It depends on how much you drive... Will you get close to 100K miles before the 6 years is up? Or, will you only drive about 70K?
 
Brake job? A brake job on my CR-V with new rotors is about $600.. Multiply that by at least 1.5 for a BMW..
 
Inspection II at 60K miles? Figure $600-$800 for that..
 
Oil service at 75K? $125, most likely..
 
Inspection I at 90K? Another $300..
 
If the car weren't CPO, I wouldn't buy the extended maintenance, as that would give you the option to go independent for your service... but, if your warranty is with the dealer, and you'll put 90K on the car, then I'd buy the maintenance pkg, as well..
 
It's a tough choice, though... $1500 is a lot.. I'm not sure I'm right.. just my opinion..
 
regards

True enough
 
.Inspection II at 60K miles? Figure $600-$800 for that...
 
Swope only charged $424(including $42 the M1 0W-40 I provided). That price also included a brake fluid flush and repairing curb rash on the LF wheel.
 
Oil service at 75K? $125, most likely...
 
It could be less than $100- and under $55 if you spend 0.5 hours doing it yourself.
 
Inspection I at 90K? Another $300...
 
It could be under $250, depending on the car. I still think I'd self-insure rather than fork over $1500.

I have a few wheel rashes myself. Wasn't sure they can be repaired by BMW or independent. One is 3 inches long and the other about an inch, both on the rim edge.

Service costs vary a lot. If i go to the dealer in downtown chicago, i will be out over well over a grand for an inspection 2, and frankly, i don't think much of their service department. I brought in my car for a few small issues once and they found nothing but wanted to charge me for an unneeded radiator flush. I have had good experience with albuquerque BMW way back when, and with roanoke BMW--the latter seems to be a really great outfit.
 
So seeing as the service package is fixed price, it's probably a good deal if the dealer you will be using is expensive.

I'm pretty sure that my dealer uses an outside contractor, but in any case the repair is completely undetectable.

Thanks for the feedback. My dealer should be able to handle it. They have Dentwizard repair which is completely undetectable as well without need for paint.

Anyone bought/buying a car this month? Looks like the 1.9% was just a wild rumor, haven't seen anything official yet. What about incentives, is the 1200 auto tran still around?

I just got an e-mail from BMWFS today... There is a pull ahead program for '05 and '06 lessees, where they will waive up to three payments... and special lease deals, as well as .9% and 1.9% financing...
 
Unfortunately, no details in the e-mail on which models and for how long the financing is good for... I'm sure it varies by model..

What exactly is a pull ahead program? Does it apply to old 2005 leases or new leases of 2005 models? What are those special lease deals?
Thanks!

If you are already leasing a 2005 model year car then it applies to you.
