The price is definitely negotiable. I just paid a little under $1300 (don't have the paperwork in front of me), but my dealership stopped using the official BMW program and said that many dealers have switched to the Allstate one since BMW is giving owners a hard time -- arguing sometimes that the pothole damage looks like curb damage (which isn't covered under BMW's plan).

Dealer asked me if I wanted, so I asked what kind of tires were on my new 535dX. When I saw that they were the same as I had on my 2011 535iX with Eagle LS2 ROFs, I said "sold" ! Over the course of 3 years, I had to replace 4 tires due to both sidewall bubbles and one 2" sidewall gash (MAJOR pothole).

The gash incident sold me on ROF. Always wondered how good they were. Was on a dark mountain road with no shoulder when we hit something and it went flat, but was able to drive home 40 miles home at around 45-50mph without any difficulty. Had no idea how bad the tire was until the next morning.
