E34 Service Intervals

[pmanson]

Hi,

Does anyone know the service intervals on a E34 525i?

I recently brought a 525i and when I brought it had 2 green lights on. That's just dropped to one. It's booked in on the 10th September for an MOT so I was wondering if I should get it serviced at the same time or do I wait for it to go to the red interval before getting it serviced? (IIRC it's 5 green, 1 amber, then 1 red).

I think it's going to be an expensive MOT as it is!

Thanks,
Phill

Certainly can say that ragging the tits off your car, spending considerable time at 150mph, and driving down to the South of France helps speed this process up
