I bought both Gold EVP 6yr/100k ($2860 no tax) and Maintenance Plan Upgrade ($2195 no tax) from Patrick Casey at Faulkner BMW. He posted on a couple forum sites that they were selling at just above cost. This was the best deal I found anywhere.

At the time I had 49,500 miles on my 2009 X5d. Mileage verification was easy to work out with him.

This may seem ridiculously expensive, but I reckoned that the independent BMW repair shops have not worked on diesels since they were only released in 2009 and most are still under warranty. I know that many of the systems are the same as the gassers.

I drive about 25000 miles per year so the 6yr/100k seemed perfect.
