Doug Huffman is on a distinguished road
New owner 2012 X5 35d (E70). Question, subscription optional services?

It's not even in my garage yet, we pick it up on Friday.

It's Sparkling Bronze Metallic with Tobacco Nevada Leather interior with Dark Bamboo wood trim. Premium Package, Premium Sound Package, Technology Package, Running Boards. CPO expiration 02/23/2016 100K miles

On our trip home from bicycling in Florida, Milady Wife decided that our 50+ mpg 12 y.o. 185K mile VW TDI (ALH) Jetta was just too old, too small, and too uncomfortable to put up with. By the time we neared home, she had picked this out after we rejected MB and new X3 BMW. Zimbrick BMW Madison, Wisconsin was happy with a no strain sale.

The VW, my second TDI, never again saw the dealership after its first service. For example, the mechanics paper prophylactic against grease smudges was OVER the smudges, hiding them! Never again. Depending on the dealership after fifteen years of trusting independent guru's will be a challenge.

So, I will be depending on y'alls' expertise and experience and recommendations. Once the financial shock of a car payment has eased then I'll probably buy a premium membership.

On that topic, after re-reading the Owner's Manual I am overwhelmed by the extra subscriptions and fees for the multitudinous services from BMW, for Navigation, Communication and Entertainment. Recommendations please.
