Hi - First time BMW owner here. I have just purchased a 2015 65 plate 218i M sport (First BMW, I managed to get insured for £650 at 21.) I wanted an e46 but need something reliable for a long commute to placement. Its been remapped to 176 bhp, which to me makes up for the lack of 3 cylinders.

The car needs a service - the last one was done in Feb 2024, 5000 miles ago. How much should I expect to pay? The car is on 59k miles, I think the rear brake pads will need changing too.

The car has a side light failure warning on the dash, and the bulbs are blown - the previous owner did say he changed the halogens for xenons. Should I be worried about this being a larger electrical issue, or is it just a case of changing the bulbs?

I am also looking to add front parking sensors, and retrofit carplay whilst keeping an OEM look. Whats the best way to go about doing this?

Many thanks
