This includes variants in all its sedan models, namely the 3, 5 and 7-series.The on-board Condition Based Service maintenance system monitors the car to determine the specific types of service required.As such, the service centre will have all the necessary parts and materials needed for the specific work ready when the car is brought in, minimising down time.“Using experience gained from Formula 1, BMW pioneered intelligent diagnosis-based servicing which ensures more road time for the driver,” said Vijayaratnam Tharumaratnam, BMW Malaysia corporate affairs manager.Along with BMW's in-house insurance programme and its Service & Repair Inclusive scheme which covers all costs of maintenance for the first three years, this gives customers complete peace of mind, added Vijayaratnam.</p></blockquote><p></p>
