So maybe that's $2,000 at the stealership, but in my garage it's not even half that.

Secondary point, if the maintenance isn't transferrable, I'm assuming either the cost of purchasing the extended maintenance will be cheaper or BMW will pay for it there by selling less of those.
Thx for the DIY pricing. But considering the dealerships inflated service, it's even more rewarding to have it done for free.

Good point about the extended maintenance plans price reduction, I agree.
