If you are keeping the car for the period where you will need brakes,
and if you cop the maint deal and get stuff done by that pricey Stlr,
then it may be a break even deal for you. If any of the above "telling
the future" items don't occur, then they have made out.

If the piece of mind is worth the 2Gs, it's your pick. But, probably not
worth it since you are tossing it in 3 yrs or less.

(Edit: Re: "Dealer wants $1,895 for the 6 year or 100,000 miles extended maintenance."
That "6 yrs/100K miles" is the sum Total that the ext maint covers. That is, the
program "picks up" at time of your current 'free maintenance' expiring soon, and lasts
for 2 more years or 100K miles total, whichever comes up first.)

As for those quoted repair prices by that stlr: they are high, even
for a sltr, and any BMW Indie in your area could do them for about
30-50% less, if you choose not to get the ext maintenance, imo.
