New member intro & questions about warranty(s)
So a little background, I've been a Bimmer owner for the last 14 years or so. I bought a 325ci prior to starting residency & have owned 4 other Bimmers since including an e46 M3 & an X5 M.
I have 3 young'ns, the youngest of whom just turned 4 years old. I've been thinking about a car to replace my current X5 as the 4 y.o. is in a booster now. I've been thinking about trying another marque & strongly considered an Audi S8. I've avoided MB my whole life as I've always looked at MB as the de facto choice of Indo-Pak physicians everywhere!
However I've recently come to the conclusion that that's a horrible reason to not buy a quality vehicle! That being said I had been looking at either an S550 (too big) or a new C63 (likely too small). Having always been a wagon fan I think an E63SP would be perfect! As such, I've identified a particular vehicle & should be able to take delivery within 7-10 days!
I have a few questions & hope you guys can help out!
1) Re: the first class wheel & tire protection warranty:
a) Does the warranty cover wheels that the car was not delivered on? Specifically, my car will be on the 10-spoke titanium wheels; I'm most likely going to look for a set of 5-spoke forged rims (most likely) or aftermarket rims. Would the warranty cover either set? (my finance guy obviously said they would be covered).
b) Is $1500 a good price for 5 years of coverage?
2) Is $1999 a good price for the 3-yr pre-paid maintenance coverage? What exactly is covered in each maintenance?
Thanks in advance!

Aftermarket rims are not covered by b2b Benz warranty, but dealer may sell a wheel tire package on this at their discretion ... That warranty should be transferable to all Benz dealers, I paid $1299 for five years unlimited miles
I paid $999 for 3 years of service pre paid
Scheduled maintenance is covered as per the Benz schedule available free online on Mbusa.com
Good luck

In searching the tire/wheel warranty I've found conflicting info as tonwhether or not wheels not sold on the car are covered. Did you purchase your warranties after the sale or with the car?
