Anyone else find Condition Based Servicing irritating?
Checked the i-drive today to find the following service predictions
Front pads 10,000 mls
Rear Pads 11,000
Microfilter 12,000
Oil 13,000
With the service package the dealer is unlikely to touch any of them until 'due'.
I might get away with 2 visits for all items 4 within the 3,000 miles spread instead of 3 visits if i'm lucky.
Might have to take the SA some chocolates on the first visit

it does but the service is done all in one go
When the front pads get done, change the rear pads too. Microfilter also, because nobody cares about, and oil... Better too early than too late.

I can't think of any E60 engine that uses a belt drive for the Camshaft. In fact I can't remember any BMW engine in recent times that uses a cam belt.
I need enlightenment, just so I don't buy a car with that engine!!

I know some and I don't know some.
I enjoy driving my e60 - I rarely open the bonnet - that's why I have the 5-year service and maintenance package!
