Z4MC Service History
Calling all experts...
How does this sound for a service history -
Pre Delivery Check - 24/08/06
Running in Check - 1,234 Miles 15/09/06
Oil Service - 3,339 Miles 20/11/06
Inspection 1/Micro Filter - 12,601 Miles 09/03/10 (This is the one I'm worried about as there's a gap of 3.4 years - any reason for concern?)
Oil Service/Micro Filter - 18,989 Miles 16/08/12
Oil Service - 27,589 Miles 27/09/13
Inspection 2/Micro Filter - 31,443 Miles 30/11/15
Oil Service - 33,086 Miles 24/03/17
All BMW main dealership servicing.
Oil Service and Micro Filter next?
Thanks all!

Private sale or dealership & how many owner changes. I’d be ok given the mileage between services & provided brake fluid changed regularly.
If private, see what they have to say, as also learn how they have properly warmed engine up - some do sound like a bag of bones when starting, but mines quite quiet, has had lots of oil changes & the last owner since 16k was fastidious about properly warming the engine, so see how smooth & quiet it is from an ice cold start.
Full BMWSH will help u one day onsell, perfect cars don’t really exist so if it’s not been crashed or repaired suggest u seriously think about it

The car is from a dealership and its had 5 previous owners.
I've put a deposit down and the car comes with 6months warranty, so hopefully it all goes well! I was just a bit unsure on the gap there!

I would be happy with that too, if the rest checks out.
The car was possibly parked up for a few years, which is not ideal for any car. But it's been back up and doing a sensible few miles with regular services since then.

The next service will depend on the mileage you do.
It should be:
Running in service
Oil service
Inspection 1
Oil service
Inspection2
Oil service
Inspection1
Oil service
Etc etc.
Why the 2 oil services next to each other?

No idea why these 2 oil services are together. I'll put it through an inspection 1 when it's next due, just to be on the safe side!

Most likely down to it covering 8500 in 12 months so technically classed as a interim oil change to some owners good to see imo & far from a negative point

5 Si coupes
5 Si roadsters

Hi, the dealer sent the images of the service book with the stamps and what was carried out. Why doesn't it make sense?Wondermike wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:00 pmHave you seen the service book itself?
