Do you feel getting the optional BMW service contract that extends from 4/50 to 6/100 worth it?

I can't remember how much this additional service contract costs, but at the time when I purchased my used 330i 2003 BMW, it seemed way too much! Has anyone really done the math or has first hand experience to see if this upfront cost is really worth it. I felt that the total repair costs from an independent good BMW mechanic would be much less than the service contract, especially for oil changes (every 10,000 miles), brakes and rotors. I can take care of the fluids and wiper blades -so no big deal there. The gamble of course is major engine or transmission problem between the years 4 - 6 ,or 50,000 -10,000 miles. What do all think?

Be sure you make the distinction between BMW's extended warranty vs. the extended maintenance contract. The extended warranty covers defects. The extended maintenance just provides the routine oil changes, brakes, rotors and service inspections.



I would get the extended warranty if you plan to keep the car. The extended maintenance is questionable unless you can get it for a good deal. You can probably manage oil changes and routine service cheaper from an independent mechanic.
