The dealer has been trying really hard to force me to get extra warranty and different coverage plan. I guess they want to make up for what they lost in negotiations, but I am not gonna bite. The only thing I considered is the $600 BMW prepaid maintenance as the new 2017 BMW only cover oil change for 3yr/36K miles. Any recommendations whether I should pay the $600 maintenance upfront?

Does the $600 take the plan to 4yr/50K miles?
Does it add any services/maintenance that the base plan does not have? (brakes, wipers, etc)
Nope $600 is only for 3yr/36K and adds brakepads, rotors, and wiper blades to the existing maintenance service which is complementary. I am debating if I will even need the brakes within 3 yrs. I definitely won't get to 36K miles in the 3 yrs.
The 4yr/50K extension is $1100 with same same coverage.

I sure wouldn't add it just for brakes.. and, if you don't drive 12K/yr, I wouldn't add it, at all.

I don't know my Bimmers but you're ~$1,500 below invoice and that's a good price for most cars.

Salesperson showed her the dealer maintenance costs and she figured she'd save a bit on the scheduled services.
First bit of mail she got from the dealer was a 50% off oil change coupon.
BMW could be different I suppose.
Congrats on the new ride!
