Service Inclusive
Discussion
This might be a stupid question but.....
If I were to buy a AUC from a BMW dealer that shows it has Service Inclusive for five years/50000 miles, does that mean I don’t have to pay for servicing for that window ...... or just don’t have to pay for the oil, air and fuel filter changes?
Also I assume these are fully transferable when the car is sold on?
If so, I just need to worry about the warranty?
Seems rather good!! I also assume I don’t need to be too worried about the car being serviced before I collect it!

The service pack stays with the car so yes you’ll be covered for the period you mentioned, all free of charge.
When I bought an AUC I was told anything that needs doing within the next 6 months will be done prior to collection, but the car I bought never had a service pack so that may not be the case with the car your looking at as anything your car will need service wise will be done FOC.
Try and negotiate a 2 year warranty instead of the 12 month one if your car is coming to the end of its factory warranty.

The servicing covered by SI is oils, other liquids,filters and a brake fluid change at 3yo. SI+ covers brakes as well. It does stay with a used vehicle.
With a diesel, you're only ever likely to get 2 services in either 5 years or 50k. More recent deals are only 30k/3 years I believe.

yes, since Dec 2016 tho it may change again, it's 3 years or 36k miles.
If family keep the X1 diesel, we'll get 2 oil services and the vehicle check. I'm pretty sure that's still good value.
My 530D didn’t have its second service until almost 40k and 3 months short of being 4yo. If family keep the X1 diesel, we'll get 2 oil services and the vehicle check. I'm pretty sure that's still good value.

The X1 has a harder life with me , I suppose 
I’ll bet an awful lot don’t though, and they probably are worse off with a Service pack since the change. ( I understand that it costs a similar amount to the old 5/50k product?)
£299 , at about 16,600 it got first oil service.
On 19k now and it’s saying 15k to both vehicle check and oil service.
So easily 3 services within 36k
It’s just 10 months old.
I’d say lower mileage drivers won’t get two oil services but they will get brake fluid service as that is at a set date within 3 years (02/20 in my case) which so far hasn’t changed.
Whether the Vehichle check is always within 3 years irrespective of mileage , I’m not sure.
If that were the case, seems minimum everyone would get is oil , brake fluid and vehicle check. That must be good value ?
But without vehicle check , so just one oil and a brake fluid I’m not so sure ?
