BMW Servicing Coventry BMW Servicing Coventry

What does a BMW service involve?
Each BMW has a specific service schedule depending on the model and engine type. The following example shown is for all BMW 3 series E46 Saloon, Touring, Coupé (built from 2000 – 2005) and Convertible (built from 2000 – 2006) 4cyl.and 6 cyl.petrol and diesel engines.

BMW Condition Based Servicing

A number of BMW models now feature Condition Based Servicing, (CBS), an evolution of the innovative BMW Service Interval Indicator. CBS works by employing sensors to constantly monitor parts subjected to wear and ascertain the extent to which servicing is necessary. This data is then saved and stored on a microchip in your remote control key. Using a KeyReader, our Service staff can download this information to provide an accurate analysis at any given time. This means that until such time that wear progresses to defined limits, no service or maintenance work is required. CBS is not a feature on all BMW models so please ask our Service department for more details.

BMW Engine Oil Service

Parts and fluids included in this package:
Tailored perfectly to each BMW engine, all of our oil filters (genuine BMW and OE) are made with synthetic fibres for even greater robustness. They are capable of meeting the demands of synthetic oils and high oil temperatures, with a large filtration area (up to 3,800 sq. cm) that removes great amounts of impurities such as engine sludge and deposits. Even the finest particles - 0.005 millimetres and smaller- are filtered out, leaving only the purest oil and thus being more environmentally friendly as they reduce fuel consumption. Oil filters are outstanding in their seal quality which prevents impure oil from returning to the oil circuit and in addition protect the engine and extend its service life.

Work performed in this package:

  • Engine oil is removed and replaced with new oil
  • Oil filter is removed and replaced with new filter
  • Service interval indicator resp. Condition Based Service is reset according to factory specifications

PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend Service Plus with this basic oil change service
