It is one thing owning an executive car like a BMW, but another to afford to run it, using the approved dealerships for servicing and maintenance. We all know that BMW servicing can be extremely expensive, so BMW offer a pay up front servicing deal called BMW Service Inclusive that lasts for 5 years designed to remove those service bills going forward.
An example is for the BMW 5 series 4 cylinder model, this will cost you £795 for 5 years, which works out around £160 a year and will cover most servicing things. There is also a BMW Service Inclusive Plus which costs around £1645 and covers extra such as brake pads and wipers according to the BMW website. This plus package seems a bit expensive for what the extras seem to be.
A consideration when taking out a BMW Lease deal is whether you consider maintenance or not within your contract. A consideration could be using BMW’s own service programme which may mean you pay monthly for the service package, but as the agreement needs to be paid up front, it is likely the full amount for 5 years servicing will need to be covered within a 3 year lease contract. But it amy take away the worries of high servicing costst.
