Service Schedule for 1M?

I am sorry guys. I tried searching but i could not find much.
My car is about to hit 10K and almost been 1 year.

Anybody have somekind of maintnence schedule?


Thank you in advance!

I change my oil every 3-4k depending on what I do. The rest I just go by the recommended service intervals.

i have done 22,000 kms, had to top up the oil 3 times and BMW refuse to do a full oil change until the first service which i have not done yet except for the one after 1000 kms.

I demanded a oil change and they said they cant as it will mess up the programmed service intervals..

they told me the service light should come on anytime now.. but still waiting!!

I would change your oil every 6K miles or 3 months. BMW says once every year or 15K miles. I think thats dumb especially for a turbocharge DI engine that is so hard on engine oil.

Your pollen filter and wiper blades should be changed once per year. Brake fluid is once every two years unless you live in Germany/EU than it is done every year.

Spark plugs get changed at 45K miles or sooner for tuned cars(every 25K miles). Airfilter is good for about 60K miles, but I would take it out and inspect it after 40K miles.

Trans and diff fluids every third oil change or 45K miles. I think I would change the trans fluid every 30K miles if it were my car.

You can change your oil when ever you want. It just wont be free under the maintenance plan. If you do oil changes in between it will not affect your paid service intervals.
