Help with choosing service pack
What I am thinking of buying at pick up time is a service pack, but am not sure which one to go for. In UK the following are an option: 3years 36000 Service only £500 5years 60000 Service only £780 3years 36000 Service and Maintence £1175 5years 60000 Service and Maintence £1885 The difference between the two seams to be Brakes, Barke Discs, Clutch assembly and windows wipers. I travel around 8K-10K a year, and am not sure which of the above to get. I am not sure which services are due and around about what mileages. Can some one help ? |

Rajiboy,
Considered these before with few other BMWs I have bought. To be honest if you are not a high mileage driver it ain't worth it. The X5 ( I assume you have a 3.0d ) is going to have serivce inteval of prob 20k mls. That means in 3 years if you drive 10k a year you will have to do only one service and that means 250-300 so i would leave it alone and save yourself £200. Likewise the all in maintenance, great if you drive a lot but the wipers, only likely piece you will replace in 30K are not going to cost you £675 My dealer is always advising me against them as I tend to trade my cars in too quickly much to his delight If you keep the car 5 years that might be more interesting at 780 as you will likely do one minor service and a major one around 45-50k mls cost prob around 600-700 total...

keep the whole "first year run" thing in mind.
warranty isn't free?? :thumbsdown BMW Scotland!!! upgrade 4/50 -> 6/100 maintenance AND service = $2490 here, pays for itself generally |

Oil and filter stuff isn't that frequent; however, you will hit a brake job at about 36,000 miles (conversion needed). If the light for brakes comes on at 38,000 miles you'll be out a chunk of pounds... I'd go for the 5YR 60,000.

you don't get any standard warranty in Europe?

In the US, warranty is 4 years/50,000 miles, and includes oil changes, brakes, etc... all maintenance, everything except for tires (even covers windshield wipers...).
