Jul 15, 2020

The latest BMW maintenance cost guide explains the following BMW maintenance plans’ cost breakdown for the 2017 and later model year BMWs.

  1. BMW Ultimate Care is a 3-year or 36,000-mile complimentary BMW maintenance plan for eligible BMW models
  2. BMW Ultimate Care+ is a 3-year or 36,000-mile optional and fee-based BMW maintenance plan for eligible BMW models
  3. BMW Ultimate Care+1,2,3,4 is an optional and fee-based BMW extended maintenance plan which extends the maintenance on your BMW for an additional 1 to 4 years or up to 50,000 to 125,000 miles

Complimentary BMW Maintenance Schedule – BMW Ultimate Care

BMW’s maintenance schedule for model years 2017 and later BMWs sold or leased by authorized dealerships is defined by the new BMW Ultimate Care. The BMW Ultimate Care is the latest, complimentary plan that covers factory-recommended maintenance of eligible vehicles for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever comes first.

Fee-Based BMW Maintenance Schedule – BMW Ultimate Care+ In an alternative to the complimentary maintenance coverage, BMW offers a fee-based, maintenance package called the BMW Ultimate Care+. It covers factory-recommended maintenance of eligible vehicles for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever comes first.

What is the difference between the complementary and the fee-based maintenance programs? BMW Ultimate Care+ includes everything that the complimentary BMW Ultimate Care covers, PLUS the inclusion of brakes, wipers, and clutch.

Extended BMW Maintenance Schedule – BMW Ultimate Care+1,2,3,4

BMW refers to its new, extended maintenance program as the BMW Ultimate Care+1,2,3,4. Please note, BMW Ultimate Care+ must be purchased first in order to be eligible to buy the BMW Ultimate Care+1,2,3 or 4.

BMW uses the +1, +2, +3, and +4 to denote the number of years the BMW Ultimate Care+ extended maintenance coverage runs. For example, “+1” means “plus one more year” in addition to the original 3-year BMW Ultimate Care+ maintenance program, and so on.

The BMW Ultimate Care+1,2,3,4 program covers extended maintenance of eligible BMWs for up to an additional 4 years or 89,000 miles after the original maintenance of 3 years or 36,000 miles expires. This is up to a total of 7 years or 125,000 miles of maintenance coverage provided by the BMW Ultimate Care+.
