Bmw Service Plans

Post by ronk » Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:37 am

The 5year service plan must have been good and in favour of the consumer as I've been told it's not available any more - in its place is a less expensive purchase that's only a 3year deal!

Unless you are high miles user it won't be cost effective.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Sounds rubbish. In 3 years a typical owner would only use one service. And that's just a quick oil change and kick the tyres.
now I'm about to have more time I've suddenly got less toys to play with!

The five year £525 was ok
1st device £300 yr 2
Brake Fluid £90 yr 3
2nd service £500 yr 4

No bargain now - I think it's £300 for three years ?

I've never paid for the service plan. Always done a deal as tight as possible then, just as the pen hovers above the contract mentioned the service plan. Always refused first time so I put the pen down without signing. They always cave in. Even worked on my 5 series which was 6 months old.
