Is the first maintenance for BMW cars free?
2 Answers
BMW's first maintenance is generally not free and requires payment by the owner. Here is additional information: 1. CBS Maintenance Monitoring Reminder System: BMW is equipped with an intelligent CBS maintenance monitoring reminder system. The oil quality sensor continuously monitors the oil condition, taking into account factors such as mileage data and driving habits to calculate the oil maintenance cycle. Simply pay attention to the dashboard alerts and visit the service center for maintenance when the maintenance light comes on. 2. Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing.
I've owned a BMW for several years. When I bought it new, the first maintenance was indeed free—the dealer provided the initial service including oil change, brake inspection, and filter system check, which saved me some money. But honestly, it depends on the timing and location of purchase. Policies vary across different BMW 4S stores—sometimes it's free only during promotions, otherwise it costs a few hundred bucks. I did my first maintenance around the first 5,000 km to ensure proper engine break-in, otherwise minor issues may arise later. Don't just focus on saving money—timely maintenance extends your car's life. I suggest asking the salesperson directly when picking up the car and reviewing the contract terms carefully before signing, especially since BMW parts are quite expensive. More knowledge never hurts. Also, keep an eye on maintenance records regularly—it saves both money and hassle.
