Pre-owned 2021 M5 and transferring the maintenance plan, dealers wants $199?
So one of my buddies is looking into a used 2021 M5 and the BMW dealer said they have to charge $199 to transfer the 3-year maintenance plan over to his name, is that legit?

No it does not transfer. But it is only $100 so they are marking it up. It's the charge for BMW to do the paperwork to change the owner name is my understanding

I believe the service doesn't stay with the car to the second owner, so at least you can get it 're-attached' but a fee, really? What a load of crap.

everyone is saying the same thing.
The mnx plan won't transfer organically. You have to pay to have it transferred. Its typically only $100 so the dealer is marking it up for a profit. This is a long time thing across all models.

Thanks for bringing the maintenance refresh up. We have owned BMWs new and used over the years and never knew about the maintenance refresh.
I am bringing my '21 M5, which I purchased used, in for oil change next week and spoke with the dealership who told me to speak with someone in finance when I come in for service next week regarding this. I did try to get this through the MyBMW site, which shows it as an option, but I get an error when I try to checkout on the site after only adding it to the cart. |

I had to pay $100 to change mine in my X3M, but it saved me $1800 so I didn't mind. Maybe they upcharge for the M5?

I've never had anyone at my grocery store try to sell me anything. I just walk in get what I want without hassle. It would be awkward if I walked in to get a bunch of fruit and veggies and before check out I had to sit in a room and decline the option to purchase bread, ice cream, and soda.

Point is everyone is sold. Your work sells something or you wouldn't have a job. Sales is just more forward and straight to the point about it.
Boooooom shoulder shot! |

Haha no doubt. Sales is a hustle. I think sales work best for everyone when the value is there. I think a lot of the upsell is questionable value and relies on FOMO, misleading, or scaring people into making a purchase which is the nature of the beast but also kind of sucks for those who can't end up saying no.

Sometimes I think finance are bigger assholes than sales, at least it was my experience in New Jersey, or maybe it's just how people there are like.

I dropped the M5 off for service today and the service rep is going to process the maintenance refresh and confirmed it is only $100.
I was really dreading having to go through the finance persons onslaught of add-ons so glad the service rep can do it for me. |
