Yes, all dealers will honor OEM extended warranty/maintenance plan.
You are crazy paying out for extended maintenance/warrnty plans now IMHO. You have 4 yrs/50 with your new '08 - why give BMW more money now. You can add it anytime before OEM warranty expires. Who knows, after 4 years/50 you may want something different anyway.

Thanks for the heads up on the extended plans. If that's the case, then I certainly agree, the extended plan may be a better option later down the road.
The only thing is, I am not able to determine how much cheaper the extended warranty and service is at time of car purchase vs. at a later time. I've asked the finance manager for cost difference, but he gave me the run around stating it's substantially cheaper now... blah blah. Just to give you an idea, I was quoted $3700 for the extended warranty and $1800 for the service.
As for the tire\wheel combo, I negotiated the price down from 699 to 599. I know there's more room to wiggle, so I'll have to haggle a little more on Saturday.
Thanks again!!!
