I totally agree that the tire/ wheel coverage is the only added protection plan worth getting!

Yeah. It’s a scam and all it means you are willing to pay for it.

I am on my 40th car and have navigated all these interactions successfully. From I “cannot afford it” to “I don’t keep the car long enough” or even “I don’t want it, not even interested”. Some dealerships are cool and if you work with the SA, they can just get you to sign and drive. And some finance managers are cool and just say I’m going to show you these options just tell me if any interest you or not. I don’t mind them showing me their wares, just don’t get all pissy if I don’t want them. Some people want the tire warranty or extended warranty. I’m not that guy. And if I get PPF or ceramic done, it won’t be at the dealership. Well, that’s not true because the last car I got, I typically use the same PPF place in Richmond and it was a pass through cost, no markup. That’s the only time.

BMW Seattle is the best, that’s what the Finance lady told me. I am not paid by BMW Seattle and paid over sticker for my depreciating g82, and this isn’t an ad for BMW Seattle. Just an honest review by a customer of BMW Seattle on my troll account on the forums. I need to say BMW Seattle two more times to make sure Google hits BMW Seattle when you search “BMW Seattle.”
