BMW 125I Service

EACA · 11-23-2009, 09:13 PM

Got a query.

My information panel is informing me that my 125i is due for a service in 01/2010 but by then I will of only done 5000km.

The build date is 01/2009 and I got delivery in 04/2009.

Should I do a service at this date or wait till April 2010?

Thanks

Thats just the car telling you that the car should have done 10000km by then and therefore will be due.
If you haven't got a warranty that makes you service every 10000km or 1 yr, then I don't think it matters.

interesting how they've changed the first scheduled service for the 09 cars to 1 year. my 08 car was 20,000 (or depending on how you drive) or 2 years.

as regards to your question, it probably wont matter that much as it probably is just an oil change i assume??? and will only be a few months diff at max. but just of note, there are other fluids and such which age independent of kms put on the car.

Jesus, I drive too much.

My 15k service is up and she's just about to hit 5 months old.

I've just clocked 28,000 on mine... Mind you, I've had it for 16 months now.

the first one is just an inspection, they just check the fluids and then charge you $200.

janus77 · 11-24-2009, 07:21 PM

yeah, i've done 7k in mine since July, and it's showing service time too.. $200 to take a look at it, bastards!

5500 since july the 2nd. Ex demo with 1350 on the clock when i got it. Averaging just under 1000km a month at the current rate.

I think I might use one of my free pit stop vouchers instead. Auto Classic said I can use those for an inspection and to check the fluids every 6 months.

With AutoClassic you get the PitStop facility with the purchase of a new car. You can put it in for a PitStop every month if you wanted to. What's this voucher thing? I've not heard of that before.

Upon purchasing my 125i, Auto Classic gave me 6 complimentary Pit Stop vouchers which are to be used over the next 3 years (they recommended every 6 months).

At the Pit Stop they check your tyre pressures, oil and fluid levels and top up if necessary whilst u have a cappuccino in their coffee lounge
