What is the mileage for BMW's first maintenance?

[VonMaverick]

BMW's first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers or 6 months. The first maintenance items include: 1. Check tire condition and adjust pressure; 2. Check the working condition of the lighting system; 3. Check the working condition of the windshield wiper and washer, check the wear of the wiper blade position, check the exterior of the body, and the pipes of the lower protective parts; 4. Check the condition of various control belts; 5. Adjust the height and stroke of the clutch pedal; 6. Check and tighten the chassis screws; 7. Clean the air filter element. BMW is a German luxury car brand, with car series including i, X, Z, and pure number 4 models, as well as series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc., and the M series, which is an improvement based on each series.

I remember when I first drove a BMW, I was also curious about when the first maintenance should be done. Standardly speaking, the first maintenance for a new BMW is usually performed around 12,000 kilometers, but sometimes it depends on the year—whichever comes first within a year. The engine of a new car needs to run in, and fluids and parts require a break-in period to stabilize before inspection, which helps avoid early wear. Nowadays, many 4S shops recommend booking in advance to avoid queues, and they even offer free basic inspections. I suggest everyone develop a habit of keeping records to not miss this crucial point, as it could affect the warranty. Experienced drivers all say this step is super important. Regular maintenance not only saves money but also ensures a smoother and more worry-free drive!

When I first got the car, I was also confused about the first maintenance mileage. After asking friends, I confirmed that BMW's first maintenance is usually performed after 12,000 kilometers, and you can go for inspection a few months after the new car leaves the factory. If you drive on highways frequently, the mileage will accumulate faster, while city commuting like mine slows it down. I remember the 4S store also taught me to read the manual—models like the 3 Series or X5 are basically the same, but it's recommended to check the maintenance light reminder in advance. Don’t underestimate this; maintenance includes oil changes and filter cleaning, and neglecting it can cause problems. Later, I developed the habit of checking the record sheet every six months!

Based on experience, BMW's first maintenance mileage is mostly around 12,000 kilometers. This is when the initial maintenance for a new car should be performed, with the core tasks being replacing the break-in period oil and handling the filter. 4S shops usually provide free basic services, including details like lubrication system tests. I always plan my trips in advance to avoid delays, especially before long-distance driving. If delayed, risks include component wear or warranty invalidation. Timely maintenance keeps the car in good condition!
