Yes, but the question is if you need it or not. All scheduled maintenance is included in the 3/36 plan based on my experience. However, it is my understanding that BMW no longer mandates the coolant flush every 2-4 years. It is now “lifetime” and that might be why your dealer is charging you for it. I wouldn’t bother doing it unless you are keeping the car for 5+ years. Many mechanics suggest checking the coolant PH level to determine when it needs to be changed.
