Extended Scheduled Maintenance Program - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

HireM5 · 29th June 2004, 05:22

Has anyone purchased the extended maintenance program for their M5? I just bought a 2001 M5 with 13000 miles and it has one more month of the factory maintenance and I know that you can extend it as long as it is still under the factory program. Not being familiar with the M5 maintenance costs I am trying to determine if this is a good deal. If so, what did you pay and where did you buy it from?
Thanks

I got extended maintenance from my dealer at whatever they charge -- I think it was slightly over 1500 -- just before I hit my 36 months -- this is the extended maintenance, not extended warranty. I was making a bet that between the potential of brakes and an inspection service and an oil service that this would be cheaper.

Thanks. I currently have quotes for $1850 and $1999, but I found a copy of BMW's announcement of this program and it indicates that suggested list price is $1650 so I am trying to find a dealer closer to that. What dealer did you get yours from?

I believe it shouldn't matter on which dealer you get it from as long as they enter your VIN into the system. What the dealer will do is check your VIN and mileage to make sure that you qualify and voila.

Here's a dealer you can call:
