First maintenance question
Just dropped my F87 off for her first scheduled maintenance. Does anyone know what checks they actually perform during this maintenance? I'm just wondering if it's simply fluids, wear and tear items, etc or whether they check engine performance/history and so forth.

Mainly an oil and filter change and cabin filter. They will do a visual inspection of tires and brakes etc.
Year two they will change the brake fluid also. Last edited by DanG; 08-15-2018 at 11:06 PM.. |

Might pick your brain about local events and shops, if you don't mind.

I mean they can look at that stuff if they want but they either won't, or won't bring it up unless your engine has exploded.

They will inspect looking for any leaks, scan for error codes, change the oil and also the diff fluid. Not sure DanG knows what he is talking about, they don't touch nor do they need to touch the cabin filter. Main purpose of the service is engine oil and diff fluid.

I agree. Stay away from Bellevue. Seattle is closer and much better. Use Alex Long at Seattle BMW next time.

I'm not sure if there is a 1yr/10,000mi scheduled service. The next one my car is alerting me for is 7,500mi. I can't find any official service intervals from BMW, so I'm just going by what iDrive is telling me.

Mine was the break-in service - she exhibited no signs of malfeasance and was returned for my uninhibited use. She shed a bit of paint and chrome and picked up some MP black and CF (kidney grills, side vents and spoiler).
Sadly she was immediately whisked to the detailer for a wrap and CQuartz application.
