Pads & rotors seem to be the main decision point...if you think you will have
to get them R&R'd in your time frame, and get them done at a dlr, it will be about a wash. Belts are included too, and you might nip an Insp II out of the deal, fwiw. It's an insurance policy of sorts and the value is really up to the individual... if you hit Search Tab, you will find pages of threads with posters' opins. Here is a page of threads with Ext Maint posts: Xoutpost.com - Search Results &, the Macon BMW ref, which seems to be the cheapest: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ricing-13.html GL,mD

They don't offer the extended maintenance on the diesel. At least not when I took delivery back in January...

Looks like they do now. It's on the "build your own page" and even lists:
Fuel filter2 (diesel engines only) |

I bought it for my 35d, was able to shop around and got it for $1795 which is $100 over dealer price.

My brake warning came on right after my warranty period. The dealer said they would give me a good price for the extended maintenance, but never got back to me. I was able to get my brakes and rotors changed for about $800 (all oem), so it's a question of whether everything else that is covered will cost you more than $1700 (or $1100 if you get it from Macon BMW) over the next 2 years. In my case, I didn't think it would since I had the dealer check the car out before my warranty was up and they changed the belts and fixed the other issues I had.

on a 2001 540I I took the maintenance, only to see it expire, and the brakes were still good and they obviously did not want to replace them...so I waisted about 2000$ canadian...first and last time I purchase any extended warranty of any sorts
thats my experience in any case, do you think they sell it at a loss??????? its insurance and gives them nice cash flow and profit margin and the salesman will love you for it

Since this is maint and not warranty I imagine BMW knows exactly what it will cost since they will only give you whatever is on the scheduled maint list or possibly if the SAV throws a code (like ad blue low or whatever). I'm going to ask for the scheduled maint list and evaluate from there.
