[QUOTE="teighlour, post: 736239, member: 23679"] Hi Sifus I am curious about the maintenance of my 520D. I owned a pre-LCI model while my friend bought a LCI model. My first maintenance was done at 12,000km and the second maintenance done on 24,500km. My iDrive still says i can go another 1,200km to service but i just got it done at 24,500km. After my service, my iDrive states the next service due is another 13,000km or latest by Apr 2017!!! As for my friend who drives the LCI face-lifted model, his first service was done at 8,000km because he got a pre-reg model which already has 7,000km mileage. His next service was around 20,000km which he got it done just like last week. He mentions that his next service is next 10,000km as stated in his iDrive. My questions are: 1. As we both are under the BSRI package, how come his and mine are different. Mine at 12-13K km interval while his is 10k km interval? The SC said that it depends on our driving conditions. My friend might have stuck in traffic most of the time? I dont find this a valid reasons. I got a 3 years BSRI but his is 2 years BSRI (he bought the car nearly a year old and at 7k km mileage). 2. Can we dont service our car for so long? More than a year? From my 12,000km service (1st service) and the 2nd service at 24,500km, I took 13 months to reach that mileage. I find it is too long to drag not servicing the car. Do you all think so? 3. Have any of you guys do service in between the free service under the BSRI package? Like now my mileage is 22,500km, until i wait for the next BSRI service at let's say 22,500 + 13,000 = 35,500km, I service at 28,000km under my own expense? What i feel is that we are dragging too long to service our car. AB said our cars are built and designed to last that long. I find that because of the BSRI to attract buyers, they are prolonging the service and stretching it the the max. Maybe when the car is still new, there might not be any problems, but later when it ages, thats when the problem comes in because we didnt take care of our car when it was new. Any advice Sifus.
