BMW Warranty no longer transferrable starting with 2015 models

http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ceprogram.aspx

"For model year 2015 or later vehicles sold or leased by an authorized BMW center on or after July 1, 2014, BMW Maintenance Program coverage is provided for the exclusive benefit of the initial purchaser, owner, or lessee of a new vehicle, sales demonstrator vehicle, Aftersales Mobility Program (AMP) vehicle, or BMW Group company vehicle from an authorized BMW center in the United States (including Puerto Rico). Accordingly, BMW Maintenance Program coverage, with one exception, is not transferable to subsequent purchasers, owners, or lessees. The sole exception to the non-transferability of BMW Maintenance Program coverage is that household transfers - transfers within the United States (including Puerto Rico) to members of the household of the initial purchaser, owner, or lessee of a BMW vehicle from an authorized BMW center - will not terminate BMW Maintenance Program coverage. Household transfers are limited solely to transfers to a current or former spouse or spousal equivalent, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, or grandchild from the initial purchaser, owner, or lessee of a vehicle."

So if you buy a 2015 BMW and decide to sell it, the balance of the warranty does not transfer. Won't this reduce BMW resale values? I wonder if Mercedes and Audi plan to follow suit.

And..

2: Stop being alarmist. It is the MAINTENANCE that will be non-transferable, not the warranty. They are separate programs. Who cares about the maintenance anyways, its not a big deal.

Audi has no Maintenance program. Thats why I left them. I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend $60k on a car and then have to pay to service it too.

Didn't see it posted which is why I posted it.

Maintenance = oil changes, so that isn't as bad then. I think consumer protection laws would prevent them from prohibiting the transfer of the warranty.

They do have Audicare which for (normally) less than $1,000 will pay for all routine maintenance for 4 years/50K miles. Many times you can get the price reduced or even eliminated as part of the negotiation btw. Also the R8 becomes the maintenance bargain of the decade for a 'super car' when Audicare is purchased; (try maintaining any other exotic for four years for $1,000! lol).

Thats only basic stuff though. Brakes and other stuff that BMW covers is not part of AudiCare. And when Audi charges $1900 for front and rear brakes on an A6, you really want it covered.
