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.

This is part of my break-in service report. Not sure if that's the same first maintenance you're talking about.

I live in Poulsbo. Bought the car from a dealership in Florida and had it delivered. Had a rough time trying to buy in Seattle and Bellevue didn't have anything equipped like I wanted. I'm trying the service dept in Bellevue first, although Seattle would be way more convenient.

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

I would stay away from Bellevue. many people seems to have had bad experience with them. I stay in Sammamish but take my vehicle to Seattle. Just my 2 cents.

That's just what I was looking for. No report on RPM history, speed history, etc. Don't want to get myself in the penalty box before the match starts!

Hmmm... that's disheartening. But good to know there's a local alternative that has a good reputation.

Anyone else have local experience that wants to chime in?

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 agree. I also used Alex long for my M2 first service..have used Seattle for my X1 service earlier. Have no complaints but the car washing isn't that great which I don't care much as long as they don't make it worse.

I was talking about the one year or 10,000 mile service which is what I thought the question was. It is recommended that the cabin filter be changed every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.

Break in service is oil, filter and differential fluid only.

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.

The break in service mainly consists of engine oil change and differential oil fluid change.

There is a one year or 10,000 mile service. The service indicator at startup gives you mileage and a date for next service. The one year is for low mileage cars that don’t run 10,000 miles in a year.

Mine right now says 1/2019 or 5,600 miles.

Pretty sure BMW has abandoned regular scheduled maintenance intervals. They now offer CBS (condition based service).

Actually the real answer is time (usually one year) or mileage which ever comes first.
