BSRI service items replaced

[pchan1]

Exactly as SH_Callum stated. The light came about with 2000km further. So I quickly schedule for a service appointment and get it done where my odometer reads7200km during my first service.

Certainly the condition base service is highly depending on driving style.

As for subsequent 9000km service interval after reset, it is mfg batch predetermined. I was told mfg batch after April 2013 will experience shorter service interval. Prior to that is really lengthy which is a sad thing which is unexplainable by BMW. So the solution is out of pocket in between oil change.

I am very confused by the various mileage indicated by all.
We have 9,000; 12,000 and mine was set at 15,000
The best part is the next service is schedule at 30,000 and it reads 04/2016 on the screen!

I think the measurement method needs to be revamp.

Firstly, those in city spend more time on the road but not necessary clocking more km
We in the city are always stuck in traffic jam, start stop conditions and also the various
pot holes around town.
Does it mean, the car is not under stress?
Does it mean the engine residue is less?
Does it mean the chassis condition is as it first roll out?
Most rotating machines routine check and maintenance schedule are measured by time
Air compressors, motor generators, pumps, etc are all measured by the number of hours running.
The engine oil gets polluted with residue much quicker if the engine is to run longer hours.

BMW should schedule at least, changing the engine oil, transmission oil base on number of hours the engine is running
and not base on km.
Have you ever get stuck in traffic jam for 1hr or more just to travel 10km??

Can't do much bro unless you write to BMW Malaysia and see what is their take on this. FYI mine is set at 12k and I'm ok with that but certainly won't be ok if I'm in your shoes.

Correct me if I am wrong. As far as I know, there's only 2 service interval, 12k and 30k. This is the maximum km before the iDrive prompt you to send your car for service. However, depending on usage condition, the service indicator light may come on earlier if you drive your car hard. In other words, everyone will have a different service interval depending on how you use your car. This is the so called conditional based servicing by BMW.

For my case it was at 12k intervals and the light came up at around 11k so I took it in soon after. I think Keriskl was frustrated that his iDrive shows 30k despite the fact that we are in a hot, humid tropical climate which is full of dust and traffic jams.

I've seen other manufacturers give a longer service interval for countries with no jams, straight roads and clean air and stressed that the interval will be cut half if the car is driven in one of the conditions I listed above in our country and for us we have the whole list of conditions that will prompt a shorter interval to keep the car in good condition.

This topic has been brought up numerous times but no one went and wrote an official letter to BMW Malaysia seeking clarification for their affected vehicles. To be honest I've wrote to them a couple of times to clear misunderstandings about my car and so far their response has been satisfactory so owners who have the 30k intervals ought to clear this matter with BMW Malaysia as this is unfair when others have a shorter intervals. If you're still not satisfied then there's the tribunal at your service and I think owners like myself can show that our vehicles does indeed have a shorter interval comparing to other cars.

Just sent my car to AB for my first BSRI service. What I was told, they replaced engine oil, filter and wiper. What about other dealers such as Tian Siang, Quill and etc ? Anything extra as compare to mine ?

My 1st service clocked at 8,200km (engine oil turned yellow triangle), next service clocked at 9,000km instead of 12,000km.

I had my first BSRI oil change at 7800 kms with Auto Bavaria JB, but only engine oil and oil filter will changed. They did not change the wipers and air-con filter. Was wondering there are any standard items they should change under first BSRI?

Also, the next oil service was reset to 11,000 kms, not 9,000 kms as stated above. Why the inconsistencies?

Me too, my next service period is next 12,000km. Guess it will change as it comes along.

I would be ok with 11000km or anything less than 12000km service interval, of course the shorter the better. This is what relayed to me when I made the decision to purchase the ride.

Wiper replacement has always been part of BSRI service. Aircond filter is new to me too as my previous ownership of e90 never had this replaced during bsri service interval. Best to give your service center a call to verify what is included and what's not included.
