Hi there guys,

Just wanted to ask any of your E9X's conditional base servicing readings go down quick ?

I had the darn thing serviced ( oil change ) at 14,300 miles

Looked at the Engine oil thing on iDrive it said next oil change in 15,000



Checked it today at 16,700 miles 4 months later...... 7,000 miles before it needs another oil change ???


Is something wrong ?? It's dropped nearly by half !? And I'm shafted ATM with the whole BMW warrenty so I'll have to pay £280 for another pop
Change


Is this normal or is there something wrong with mine ?.... Ps do a fair bit of town driving roughly 500 miles a month with occasional a roads

[Jase 320d]

Town driving and cold weather (puts more strain on engine components and the oil)

You'll only likely get 15000 if you do motorway miles

[DMH-01]

You can always reset the indicator yourself.

[Jamie_E92]

You must be kicking the fuck out of it

[Digitalize]

I'd ignore the warnings. Oil every 10k/year.

This has been covered somewhere else as how it calculates the service interval for oil service. Its not CON, so your thread is misleading.

[mistryn]

^^^ +1 iirc it is calculated by fuel used.

is it AUC warranty or mondial extended warranty?
another thing to look at is maindelaer discount website (if there is a delaer near you)

Hey bro it's .... Just the big standard 3 year warranty from BMW

I'm debating wether i can take it elsewhere ? I really don't fancy paying £280 again for something do simple


My old Civic type R was so simple, don't get why they charge £280 for just oil change robbing B****STRDS

Mate you might be well respected on this thread fair play but don't tell me what I think is misleading or not

You might not THINK it's a con, I don't like paying money for something Iv never experienced before ( oil change every 6,000-7,000 on a diesel )

Asking questions, and having my own opinion is allowed !!

I'm not misleading anyone, iv clearly stated "Is this normal or is there something wrong with mine ?".

So please get you're facts right before accusing

Accusing

I thought you accused BMW for making a CON system or at least the title of your thread gives that impression. Starting a thread for seeking opinion is different than posting .....

I would suggest you to search, read and then make your opinion on what is what. Once you do the proper search, your opinion may change. Enough said.

PS: You will be v happy in VWs or Audi where engine sludge is common as oil service intervals are 20K.

See berry Heathrow as I got my oil change with micro filter (330d) changed on Friday for £188 inc vat!

Problem was... when I dropped the car & they checked the key.... the fuel & ain't filter needed changing as well = £350 extra..... I told them where to go on that!

Using main dealer discount got oil service inc micro filter, vehicle inspection, brake fluid change and standard scope for £319 played main dealer discount off with my supplying dealer who I have dealt with for over 20 years got it for £318 after some haggling. Yes the oil service is based on 15k for petrol cars once reset and then fuel used determines next service, if heavy footed the quicker they come around.

Not a con mate, sounds about right for your useage.

You can get the oil changed where you like. No need to go to BMW for that, warranty can't be affected, that's the law.

Your mileage is very low, sounds like lots of short journeys which will reduce the oil life a lot.

It's 2 years max between changes anyway regardless of mileage, so you'll barely have done 10k by then anyway.

[mob17]

If you really want the BMW service stamp, you can supply the oil and make a decent saving.

[vexith]

£280 just for an oil change?

[RichJ]

CBS is based on the amount of fuel used.
