Hi All,

I have a September 2018 BMW 5 Series (G30).

My dashboard is showing service due in September 2022 or 1800 miles. My car has had one service before in 2021 (prior to my purchase) from BMW dealership.

The current mileage on the car is just shy of 21,000.

I do not intend to renew my BMW warranty (at this time).

Now my question is, what service is required for me next? Does spark plugs need to be changed at this time? The mileage is pretty low...

These are the options BMW gives on their website:

Option 1 - BMW - £305
Engine oil service with microfilter*
+ environmental disposal charge + standard scope

This includes engine oil, oil filter, microfilter(s) - how many microfilters are there in my car - how to know?

Option 2 - BMW - £490
Engine oil service with microfilter, air filter & spark plugs*
+ environmental disposal charge + standard scope

£185 extra for spark plugs, how many are there? 4?

Option 3 - Cazoo (found from Bookmygarage.com) - £199
Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter

Is there anyway to know if they will use synthetic oil or just a normal oil? I believe this car requires synthetic oil.

Option 4 - Cazoo (found from Bookmygarage.com) - £199
Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter and Fuel Filter (if fitted externally, if not replace pollen filter)


Can someone please advice what to do here?
