Inspection 1 and 2

[nw99]

I am looking at my service book with all the stamps in it.
It has always been serviced on time or mileage sometimes more than needed .
Last service was Inspection 1 at 33,000 miles on 02/14
Then Oil service at 37,000 miles on 03/15 .
So am I right in thinking I should have Inspection 2 this month 03/16 ?

Its every 2 years or the mileage, whichever is sooner. If you have not covered the mileage, your next service would be an Inspection 2 but at 03/17.

Much appreciated thanks the car has only done 1,000 miles since the last oil service so inspection 2 is 03/17 then

Some owners with low mileage cars dont follow the schedule exactly, with maybe 2 oil services inbetween the Inspection services. As long as you're not going over the mileage stipulations for the services it should not effect value that much.

Valve clearances are done on inspection 1 anyway, inspection 2 additional work over an inspection 1 is spark plugs, air and fuel filter (fuel filter not specified on schedule but supplied in the value line service kit from BMW), gearbox and diff oil.

Value line kits are exactly the same parts as you would udually buy, they are not inferior. Poor choice of name in my opinion

What's the recommendation/schedule on coolant change interval?
