E46 330ci service intervals

[ichbintk]

Hi everyone,
I'm going to see a 330ci tomorrow. 53.5k miles with BMWsh up to 42k. What are the BMW recommended service intervals? Going by mileage, what would be the next service? (I've heard that the 'inspection' services can be quite a lot).
I've been to see a few already (all of which have been pretty poor) so hopefully this is a good'un. I'm still driving my first car ('96 VW Golf 1.8 GL) so a rwd 3 series is going to be fantastic (when I finally get one!).
Thanks,
Tom

The service intervals are controlled by the OBC.

They are pre set 15500 though.

The dash will tell you how long until next service.

I'd say that will be due a service, or will have just had one.
Roughly 13-15k intervals based on my experience. that one could be due an Inspection 2.

Rememebr coolant and brake fluid changes too.

Thanks for the replies. I'll bear that in mind if I make an offer.

you can check the estimated number of miles and service type due (oil, inspection 1, inspection 2) when you turn the ignition on but not turn the engine in the led display in the dash
