When you purchase a 2017 BMW or later, it comes with an Ultimate care standard for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, this Ultimate Care package is only good for the following maintenance – brake fluid, engine filters, engine oil, cabin micro filters, engine air filters, spark plugs, remote control, keyless entry battery, vehicle check and fuel filters which are only in diesel engines! For earlier models, they will be under different stipulations. Now for all BMW Models that are older than 2017, they are covered for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. That program covers all factory recommended maintenance within the warranty book that your vehicle comes with. Another thing to be aware of with any year BMW model is that only the initial owner will qualify for the maintenance plan, it will not transfer over to any new owners. The only exception is that if it transfers to another individual within the same household, then the wa ... read more
