service inclusive on 520d

[cseven]

Hi All

I have a new 520d m sport touring and have 60 days to decide whether to take out the service inclusive pack at £525 quid. They seemed to have changed this from a few years back as its now more expensive and only covers up to 50k miles.

Do people still think this is a good deal, what does a typical service cost and how long between services do people get? My thoughts are that if I'm looking at 18k service intervals (a guess) then I would only get 2 services? I drive a mix of motorway and town so i imagine the real question is what mileage intervals do you think I will get as if I get 3 services for 525 quid this is probably a good deal....2 services not so good!

My wife's f30 330d is now on 20k and has just had it's second servic.
Oil, micro filter and vehicle check.
Came to £299
The first was at 20k miles.
The car does town and A road mileage with about 10% motorway.
The service pack would be worth it.

Have you asked what the rate would be for each service without the pack? Which includes all filters and fluids and top ups, if needed, between services?

I think you'll be on the right side cost wise even with only two services.

You will also get the brake fluid change as well as part of the service pack

I think the BMW service package is OK if you're keeping the car for the duration of the term and want to stick with dealer servicing.

At worst you'll break about even and at best you'll save a few £.

It's a lot lot cheaper than the monthly service plans touted by MB.

I would say you are about right working on 18,000 mile service intervals , so your get two oil changes , micro filter & I think two break fluid changes.
If you have a good BMW dealer who close to you then it is worth it , should get a free loan car & wash & vacum each time as well.

Over a 50k period you'll also probably need front and, maybe, rear brake pads. All in all, £525 seems well worth it if you're keeping the car for the duration and are likely to cover those miles.

The service pack doesn't include consumables such as pads, discs or tyres.

I have a Nov 2013 LCI 520d MSport, paid £500 for the 5 year/50k package, as I had an E60 520d before and each service was £250-300, so a no brainer personally.

First service was at 16.5k in Jan 2015. Next service is showing due in 10k, car is currently on 24.5k, so in theory every 16k or every 2 years whichever is sooner, so will depend on your mileage.

Sad;y does not include consumables!
