Service intervals

**Fasteddie** · 07-02-2010, 10:53 AM

Hi there, can anybody answer me how often services should appear on the service log? Is it just on the miles done or also on time? I have seen a service gap of 2.5 years, very low miles between services but all the same it sounds wrong. Is it wrong or is that acceptable?

Thanks

Its worked out on fuel used,usually about 10k-14k miles.depending how hard you drive,if you dont do many miles then you should have a service every 2 years.

Probably had it done early,ive seen some service books for m3s as low as 9k miles for the first service,but never that low,there usually at about 12k miles.

check if there was a change of ownership, dealer maybe serviced the car before due date at time of sale
