Anyone know when BMW is going to switch over to the 2017 340i? I want to make sure my orders in before then. Don't want to get screwed on the maintainence.

When you go to sell, you'll lose more on the value of the car than the cost of a w/s wiper and an oil change.

Unless you have some electrical or mechanical issues between 36,000 and 50,000 miles, which is typically where those sort of issues can occur. (In my experience)

Also, if you sell from 2-4 years after buying, you're better off leasing.

The only changes being made are to the Maintenance program, not the bumper to bumper warranty. So if you have electrical problems after 36k miles, you'll still be covered till 50k miles.

Brakes. They're not covered at all. Screw that. Front and rear OEM pads and rotors installed even at an indy is going to be at least $450.
