BMW ultimate care

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has ever done an upgrade from BMW ultimate Care +2 to Ultimate care +4 and if they know approximate costs. I currently have Ultimate Care +2 75k. I'm more interested in the years vs mileage as I believe ill hit years before the mileage limit. Also do you think its worth it?

I’ve never owned a BMW before but I had a Mercedes and every time I went to the dealer it was either $600/1200/1800 depending on if I was due for “Service A/B/C”.

Knowing that, I would imagine it does make sense to prepay the maintenance on an M550 which I think is what you have from other posts I’ve seen. Personally I plan to buy Ultimate Care for my M550 as soon as I use my last free service.

Reach out to Christine @ Steve Thomas BMW she can give you a good deal. I snagged mine from her.

The MSRP for the upgrade is on BWM website, but her pricing was much better.

The plan becomes more valuable the higher mileage you you drive and if you need brakes during its lifespan.

I snagged it as like iamcc88 I came from Mercedes and it was at least $1K every service going in there.

You don't happen to have a contact number or email for Christine? To be honest I would have paid for the fully upgraded one if I knew there was a higher step lol.

I suppose the Ultimate Care is a different package in the US from what BMW is offering here in Aus as Inclusive Service… The catch here is that if you buy one for say 5 years/80k kms it doesn’t matter when you buy it during the first 5 years the price is always the same and expires when either time or kms are up from the FIRST REGISTRATION DATE…

I bought one a bit before the 2nd anniversary and at 24k kms - was still quite a bit more affordable than scheduled services over the following 3 years (I won’t hit 80k kms in that time).
