Service packs vs just paying for each service [M3T]?
Discussion
Anyone any idea or views on what's best. I'm assuming that "buying" a service pack is cheaper albeit you have to pay upfront or monthly depending on which one you go for.
M3T^ seems to be £43 a month for 36m and that gives x2 services albeit excluding the RIS which it seems has to be paid for in addition.
^based on 10k miles per year
Service 1: 18,000 miles / 24 months
Service 2: 36,000 miles / 48 months
So £1500 for x2 services!

Depends on your mileage. On a 3 year plan with the figures above you get one service M3T^ seems to be £43 a month for 36m and that gives x2 services albeit excluding the RIS which it seems has to be paid for in addition.

I didn't bother, but then I'm only on 7500 miles over 2 years in.
I optioned the 5 year service pack for the G90 M5 and it worked out at £2,310 from new but note the GFV (when on PCP) increases by around £800.
That meant the monthly payment increased by £35 which over a 4 year term is £1,680.
The RIS was £550, leaving a balance of £1,130 for the remaining services up to year 5. I know the 2nd service is a major ie plugs, which will cost in order of £1,200 alone and therefore the pack is value for money.
If you're paying it as a service "plan" and not an outright "pack" it might not be as cost effective.

Thanks. The above (the quote they gave me) includes the RIS apparently so perhaps not too bad after all.That meant the monthly payment increased by £35 which over a 4 year term is £1,680.
