Q1 : How many kms (or how long) to have services? 10,000km
Q2 : How much per service? 4 liter of engine oil for the 4-potter is RM200, oil filter is RM40, labor is RM10, if do outside lor.. If SC, about RM700 for engine oil and labor
Q3 : Do I have to service it by BMW dealers only? Not necessary, provided that u know where to find a trusty foremen and where to source for original parts, otherwise potential maintenance nightmare..
Q4 : Is it expensive to maintain the car after warranty? Sad to say that all BMW parts comes with a premium price tag, so please don't compare to Japanese parts. But if your are lucky, BMW parts out last Japanese parts
