Purchase Maintenance Plan on 2016 M5 Lease Transfer

[mitch65]

Was wondering since the maintenance plan does not transfer on a 2016 M5 if anyone has purchased one for a used 2015 or 2016 or lease transfer and how much was it.
Thanks !!

????? Why does it not transfer???

BMW does not transfer the maintenance plans anymore on 2015 and above for second time buyers (unless CPO - not 100% sure on CPO but believe it does transfer). You can however transfer the maintenance plan at a cost for non-CPO cars which I believe is $700. You would do that at the time of purchase. For me, depending on the mileage (if low) I would probably do that but sure others have different perspectives. I am not sure if you can transfer the maintenance plan for $700 to cars purchased from non-BMW dealers.

A friend purchased an M2 from a private party, they drove it to their local BMW dealer and were able to transfer the maintenance plan for a fee. I think they called it a 'refresh', not sure on cost.

From what I read it only transfers if the 2nd buyer lives in the same household (address) as the original buyer. Basically just immediate family member. Not regular CPO. before 7/1/2015 it does, after it does not.

yup. 2015 and beyond - maintenance no longer transfers. and 2013 and earlier, no more BMW Assist or ConnectedDrive. so 2014 is the sweet spot.

i think the maintenance extension is about $1795 per year. just email/call the finance guy and ask using your VIN.

Well my 2013 M5 has the NBT navigation so I still get to keep my Connected Drive Services and Assist.

Always use it in negotiating if purchasing. They will refllash maintenance on most cars if they want the sale. Or they are a lame ass dealer then.
