Manufacture Warranty TO Do's?

TrentOSU · 08-01-2013, 06:07 PM

I purchased an 11' 335i M sport with 12,237 miles on it a few months ago. It now has 13,400. What should I be doing? I know I have free service and what not but I'm not sure what I should be doing regarding maintenance? I've never had a car with this low of miles and want to stay on top of everything.

Advice would be appreciated!

The Condition Based System (CBS) will tell you what needs to be done. It's all describe in your owners manual.

If there is anything that bothers you about the car that you suspect might be a problem then be sure to take it in and get it documented before the original factory warranty runs out. There are a lot of things that CPO does not cover (interior bits for example).

If you go to the BMW dealership they should be able to get you a printout of the service done so far. At least you'll know what you're starting with.

Check the condition based service menu on your car. If you don't hit the mileage requirement, the dealership will change your oil after a year despite what the CBS says.

You can also have your wiper blades replaced for free at the dealership after a year.
