Yes, its high time I raised another BMW note!
This time its servicing.
My 316 is now approaching 20,000 miles since new. I have booked
it in for service religiously when the green lights tell me too.
In fact because of delays getting a 'slot' I've always ended up
running on the red light.
My first service happened at 1200 miles (not a function of the lights
but just the running in service). I am now approaching my 4th service
since then making a total of 5. The servicing interval has thus
averaged out at about 4500 miles!
My driving is not hard, more brisk. Most mileage is to work down
the A33 from Reading to Basingstoke. In otherwords a pretty sort
of average profile.
So what experience have others had? Are these lights just a device
to screw the customer for more service income?

Re: .7
I have to agree. I like the cars, but haven't managed to find a good
dealer. Perhaps its just me, I had the same problem with the Ford I
used to have ...

As far as I know the ONLY BMW dealer in Reading is Vincents by Kings
Meadow, near Reading Bridge.
Vincents also have the BMW franchise in Henley.
The nearest BMW dealer not owned by Vincents is probably Altwood in
Maidenhead.
