What items are included in BMW's first maintenance?

[AlanaMarie]

BMW's first maintenance is divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance. The minor maintenance items include changing the engine oil and oil filter; the major maintenance items include engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. The maintenance interval is 10,000 kilometers or 12 months. This is measured based on each owner's vehicle running-in period. Check tire condition and adjust pressure; inspect lighting system operation; inspect windshield wiper and washer operation, check wiper blade wear, inspect exterior body and underbody protective components/pipes; inspect condition of various control belts; adjust clutch pedal height and travel; check and tighten chassis bolts; clean air filter element. First maintenance precautions: Determine your vehicle's first maintenance time and mileage. Be careful not to exceed the time or mileage limit which may void your free first maintenance entitlement. Schedule your first maintenance appointment in advance. It's recommended to call your local dealership's after-sales service one day in advance to book an appointment. When scheduling, inquire about required documents to bring, such as purchase invoice etc.

When I first bought my BMW, I took it in for the initial maintenance. The main services included changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking all vehicle fluids such as coolant and brake fluid, adjusting tire pressure and inspecting wear, testing the lighting system, tightening chassis bolts, and conducting a general vehicle inspection. I'd like to remind newcomers that BMW's first maintenance is typically due every 12,000 kilometers or once a year. Don't exceed this interval, as it might affect the warranty. During the service, technicians also perform a computer scan for fault codes to ensure there are no major issues. Personally, I believe that timely maintenance gives me more peace of mind when driving, especially for performance-oriented brands like BMW. Regular upkeep can extend engine life, making it worth the extra attention.

When it comes to BMW's first maintenance, as someone who has driven for years, I know it's not complicated. It mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking fluids like windshield washer fluid and brake fluid, inflating tires and inspecting wear, examining if the brake discs are normal, and checking if the headlights and fog lights are functioning. My personal advice is not to save money by doing it yourself haphazardly. Go to a professional shop where they can also inspect the chassis and suspension, helping to prevent minor issues. The BMW CBS system will remind you, so don't delay too long. Getting the first maintenance done properly can actually reduce your subsequent vehicle costs significantly.

What I care about most during maintenance is safety. For example, BMW's first maintenance includes replacing the cabin air filter to reduce odors, thoroughly checking brake fluid levels to prevent brake failure, and testing the steering system and wipers to ensure smooth driving. Overall, the service items are quite comprehensive. Regular maintenance keeps the air inside the car fresh and ensures more stable driving at high speeds.
