My Ride: 2004 Euro IV 525d SE. Metallic Titanium Grey, Xenons, Active Sterring, 17inch alloys RFTs.
I'm just getting used to this condition based servicing and want to check with the forum how they find it. I had my first oil change at about 15000 miles in December. The car now is saying a service is due and the Brake Fluid needs changing (?123 at the local dealer). I then checked and could see the microfilter would need changing in a further 4300 miles, the rear brakes in 7000 and the front brakes in 9000. Based on this I could be in the at dealer 5 times within a year unless I get it all done at once - and hence the question - how often are you going to the garage based on what the car thinks it needs?

For me the extended service interval was great news as I clocked up the 46K miles in 18months.
But.. with the e60 it all seems to be split up .... I like my dealer, but I don't want to spend too much time there.

2 times a year! It should be 1 time every 2 years or 30.000 km's
I think it's pretty useless this way. I've just got the microfilter changed today, and got 9000 km to oil service now....

I think the CBS works great with the Service Inclusive but if you're paying your own servicing every time then it's probably not the best solution. However, both ways the car is at the dealer more, surely!

My Ride: F11 535i M-Sport,, Silver, Black Leather, LED Adaptive headlights
Model Year: 2015
Engine: N55
My dealer was prepared to amalgamate some items if they were due soon.
I had oil change at 15,000 in Early February.
CBS says brake fluid change in May and is showing service in 6,000?
I am sure it will stay at 6000 miles for the next 9000 miles !!
