Wouldn't buy an aftermarket plan for 500 but am spending 1298 for five year BMW wheel and tire plan. Put 30k miles a year as daily driver on pothole filled highways. Peace of mind for 150000 miles of daily freeway driving....yes. I like that no money.changes hands with BMW plan and I can go to any BMW dealer. And since my 80 mile commute takes me directly by four BMW dealers I will always be near a replacement if I hit a pothole or get a nail. Honestly I see BMW taking a bath on this deal with me.

I am picking mine up in a few hours from now. I was quoted in the 2300 range, which is clearly aimed at noobs with no financial acumen. I am not going to pay anything over 1.2k for a 36 month insurance.
It's like paying 500k to insure a 500k house. |

i paid $1100 for it for 5 yrs, no mileage limit, and covered if you swap tires later on. i got two nails in the past couple years before and they will replace (not patch) if you have a nail in it. worth it if it's your daily driver or in bad areas!

Canadian dealer (so should be more just for that reason) and I was quoted $1,400 for 4 years and it would include any BMW wheels on the car (I have OEM 18s for the winter and ZCPs for summer).

get the wheel and tire insurance if they use Michelin's...if they use the RF Bridgestonses RE050A , then dont bother - they will be "legally" bold after 12K miles anyway and thats when funny things start happening, pops, bubbles. All 4 of my tires had the bubbles and only 1 was considered to be under warranty. BMW doesnt tell you but even if any of the corners reach less than 2/32 then its not covered. I will never get that tire ins again if they put on Bridgestones....my 2 cents and painful exp.

I talked them down to $1159, waiting for them to drop another $100 then I'll probably do it. They said that they will cover what ever tire is on there as long as it's on the BMW approved list of tires. It's a little odd as it's the car that has the tire/wheel warranty and not necessary the actual tire/wheel warranty, unlike when you buy from Tire Rack. Example SA gave me. My car has Contis, it something were to happen, then contis would the replacement tire. If i have Michelin PSS, then that would be the replacement tire. So, I guess I should try and trade the tires asap and put on Michelin PSS...
My SA did mention that it has to have 3/32 or higher to be under warranty if something goes wrong. If it's under 3/32, they won't warranty the tires. |

I was quoted 1370 with TAX for Five years, with paint and window protection(not going to replace the window only to fix it). but I still don't think this is necessary

Yea, same offer on my end for Tire/Wheel insurance. They tried to convince me I needed this on 18s riding 40 series tires. Come on', I think 19s at minimum it makes sense.
