ok guys so here is my deal. I am stationed in German and order my car through a military car sales. Now when the warranty was explained to me, as I understood it, all scheduled oil changes, maintainance, etc, where covered by the warranty. Meaning I did not have to pay for them. Well I went to a BMW dealership the other day and the told me that in German you have to pay even for the scheduled stuff. They wanted 180 euro for a damn oil change.
So here is my question. Is the scheduled maintainance covered by warranty in the States? And if so why wouldn't it be cover by all BMW dealerships?

This what it says under "Warranty" section on BMWNA website:
As part of BMW's complete commitment to your driving pleasure and safety, we include Full Maintenance on every new BMW purchased from any authorized
BMW center in the U.S. or Puerto Rico. The BMW Full Maintenance program provides superior service by expert technicians at all authorized
BMW centers in the U.S. or Puerto Rico for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Full Maintenance includes items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW specifications. This includes items such as brake pads, brake rotors, and wiper blades that are not covered by the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Any adjustments required due to normal operating conditions are also included. For exclusions and limitations, refer to the Service and Warranty Information booklet that came with your new BMW or see your authorized BMW center for details
I cannot read German, but you should check BMW Germany's website and see what it says. It was all gibberish to me.
