bmw has a customer care package with some of their warranties that includes all regular scheduled maintenance services up to how ever many miles

but usually warranties only cover if something breaks, not regular services

doesnt hurt to check though, and there are lots of service bulletins for most cars that you can milk for inspections and such

only bmw has full maintenance coverage as part of their new car warranty. however the two are separate.

mini also has this too but bmw owns mini so i just included them as part of bmw.
