Service 6000miles late

[Jamiecool]

I have a 16 plate 5 series, with 18000 miles. Long story but we have a service due since 6000 miles ago.

What is the implication of this with the main dealer warranty etc ?

If something ,especially on the engine fails ,the dealer or BMW might not want to pay for it.

Why do you think it's so far overdue? Typically it's 2 years or around 20k when the first service is due.

It'll be fine, no problem at all.

This seems quite odd - there shouldn't really be any servicing due on a 16 plate 5 Series at 12000 miles. Especially one driven in such a way as to rack up 18k in only a year. It should only be coming around to its first service about now?.

Which service element is it?

I actually think youve stuffed yourself , I missed my brake fluid change havent got a clue how I managed to do that. Was showing May got it done July.The service manager said 3000 is the absoloute max over re warranty that they will deal with any brake issues. Hope im wrong for your sake

They allow 1,000 miles or one month over.

Not sure why it's asking at 12,000 anyway as it's due at about 19,000 miles. Call them and get it booked in.

Thanks Guys, Im not really sure why asking service so soon.

Im slightly worried about trade in as I usually change the car with BMW every 2 years, do you think this could cause issues with trade in?

Come trade in, I doubt they would even notice.

Which service is it claiming is overdue?

Note that overdue services are highlighted in colour in the vehicles service history IIRC. So it will be immediately obvious.

I can't imagine why a 2016 Series would request a service at 12k miles, so if you can perhaps show us a photo of the iDrive service menu or something we can advise a bit more.

Ok guys, dug a bit deeper.

Its saying it needs an Oil service. I check the vehicle status, and it indeed says I need Oil service. The engine oil even is fine and Ive just done a check, which again says the levels are fine. Is it an oil change Ive missed? and would this have been due before now.

I think it needs an oil service!
