hey all,

Just ordered my '17 X5.

It depends on your driving style and how long you're going to keep the X5. In my case, I got the plus to cover the brakes, wipers, etc until 36k. It was $600, so I paid it and figured it was worth the insurance of a brake job.

The Care + 1 extends to 4 years or 14K more miles (total of 50K), which ends up being $1849 for the X5.

I am planning on keeping the vehicle for > 5 years, so the Ultimate Care package seems reasonable for $600. What I am wondering, in your experience does the cost of the wear/tear items and other maintenance after the initial plan make this plan worth it or not?

Thanks!

So my sdrive 35i has been delivered and I am planning to pick up this weekend. (Took 3 weeks, pretty fast!)

Based on what I've seen, it seems reasonable to pick up the Ultimate Care package to cover brakes etc for the $600.

Anyone have experience or advice on whether the additional Care + 1 is worth the $1850?
