First post - just bought myself an E89 20i. Not quite the spec of some of the cars on here, but still shifts fine for me!
I managed to swing a 2 year warranty with the BMW dealer and the car has 18 months or so of the service inclusive pack left to run. The BMW warranty seems to be a bit of a minefield of T&Cs, one of which is that it has to be serviced by BMW. Fine by me but a couple of questions:
- I assume I can do my own oil changes between services without affecting warranty
- Can I change the brake pads / discs or does this have to be done by BMW to avoid warranty issues?
- Is there a service interval list anywhere? It seems that BMW don't require these cars to be serviced that frequently which seems odd?
