Yeah, I think the 2 year makes the most sense. Just wondering if it's worth it to go 3 since it's an exact $450 off, and would cover me in case of random things breaking here and there.

On my computer, it says that they are both due in about 3200 miles, but the advisor said that they are usually never at the same time, and that he expects the rear ones to be due maybe in year 2 from now.
What's making me hesitant now is that there's actually a decent deal that BMW is offering - if I do 2 years, I get $300 rebate, and if I do 3 years, I get a $750 rebate.
Year 2 seems like it's the "insurance" year since my rear brakes may not need a replacing until then, but year 3 at this point is in consideration because of the discount.
For prices, 1 year along is $1075. 2 year with the discount is about $1780 (normally $2080), and 3 year would be right under $2200 (normally around $2950ish). I could wait and do it year by year, but I'd be paying essentially $50-75ish plus the discounts that I'd miss from doing it all right now ($300 the first year, $450 the second year).
It sounds like after the brake replacement, all other services will be relatively minor - oil changes, wiper change, little things here and there that won't cost that much to replace. However, I've honestly had really good experiences with the BMW services and how efficiently they fix things. Just this week, I brought my car in for some minor repairs for them to look at, and they replaced my steering wheel AND rear view mirror.
What do you guys think? Based on the discounts that I'd be getting, should I go for all 3 years or just stick to 2? It's honestly a somewhat ease of mind knowing that for the next 3 years/75k miles, any little thing that might happen will be covered under the extension.
