But like i said i hope he enjoys the lexus.
Someone I know who worked for BMW (high up in their marketing department) explained to me that the "free" 4 year/50k service really isn't free. BMW tags the estimated cost of this service to the price of the car, so you really just end up paying for the service upfront . Kind of sneaky, isn't it? It is no different than buying the service package from Lexus when you purchase the car, except that in this case the buyer has a choice.
