Buying BSI service package after 5yrs

cisco9090 · 09-30-2021, 08:08 AM

Got X1 f48 25i serviced last week and BMW offered me BSI servicing for another 5yrs or additional 50K which ever comes first for AUD$1100
Car currently has 50K on it (2016)
I may consider selling over the next few months.
Question is:
Is it worth buying it the additional servicing for another 5yrs or 50Ks?
Have you bought it and your experience.

BMW had a promotion for 3-year prepaid service in Canada when I took my 2018 X1 in for scheduled maintenance in August last month. I bought it for $520 CAD ~ $567 AUD, plus 13% VAT. It may work out to be break-even, but I don't want to worry about it and service prices may go up.

$1100 AUD is a bit high, but 5 years is disproportionately higher due to age. If I was planning to sell the car soon, then I would not buy it. I tend to keep my cars for 10+ years.

I looked into it myself and decided it wasn't worth it as it only requires 2 oil services in five years.
