BMW Servicing - AM
Hi

Is anyone aware of the new condition based servicing requirements of newer BMWs .
Just bought new shape 2005 3 series with 8800 miles, genuine. Will be coming up to first service, after 2 years. Dashboard computer states oil change needed now (May2005 or 14,000 miles), along with air microfilter. however also has a sign stating front brake pads at 9000 miles. Does this mean check them now or change them. There is no way it can need brake bads, discs and pads visible through wheels are like new. Pad warning light NOT on.BTW plugs good for 60,000 miles.

Thanks

Oil change warning seems bang on for May 2007 (!), is it the brake pad warning or brake fluid warning you're getting, IIRC BMW have 2 year brake fluid warnings in their cluster.

Brake fluid is every 2 years.

My old 320d, I had it for 3 years and 119k miles, only went in to the dealers 5 times!!!
