We've seen this 'rassling match before.

BMW and their Maintenance deal is ok to good
depending upon one's stlr experience, relationship,
and whether your ride is a lease or getting tossed at
50k or...

The "Maintenance" is not free: it's in the price of the
car that you bought; thus, while it is an inducement
and whipped cream on top of a fine dessert, and is
very convenient to fix those niggling lil' chores that
Biff N' Buffy don't care to know about or do, it will be
the minimum that the Teuton geniuses, marketeers and
cost counters will tolerate, for decent life of internals
while the car is under warr. And, that poss. CPO warr.,
or third party warr., is guessing, hoping, betting that
it will go another couple years and another 25-50k miles
without a major meltdown.

No one keeps any car forever, nor expects a car to be
absolfookinlutely prob. free, 150K miles later, realistically.
These cars aren't your sister's Toyota beater that goes and goes...

Change the oil weekly if one wants, change it when the green
lights are gone. Do some variation, "in the middle".

It's your ride and your situ and they are all different, imo.
