Is BMW Protect X worth it?

BMW has offered me the discounted price of £250 to add BMW Protect X to a brand new vehicle. I will lease the car for three years then return it to the dealer. Is it worth buying the protection?

It's a paint and upholstery protection treatment and £250 isn't a bad price for it. Other BMW dealers charge £359. It will help keep the paint and seats in good condition so you don't get charged for returning the car grubby at the end of the lease. Definitely worth having if you intend buying the car at the end of the lease.
