ya because it means you need to get your oil changed or something and that does affect performance slightly. speaking of which i need an oil change soon

yep, depending on how you drive depends on how quick the lights go out, if you drive like a wuss then your service intervals are further apart. if you drive like me then you will need a service around every 6k.....

changing oil, and plugs regular will help to keep the car running smooth. when the oil gets all shitty it can create more resistance on moving parts...... you dont notice it as the oil get dirty as it doesnt happen over night, but as soon as you change the oil and plugs you notice a differance straight away.....

the way the lights and service works is like so.....

when the car is new he first service it will have will just be an oil service (oil, filters and plugs)

then as when all the green light go out and the yellow one comes on (6k-10k) you will require an inspection one, oil, filters, plugs, certain other fluids, and an inspection of the majority of the car.

then you have another oil service again.

and then you have an inspection two, thats all the fluids ( engine, gearbox, axels, some times brakes, coolant ) the list is quite comprehensive.....

and then its back to the start again with an oil service, and then repeat the whole thing again....

if you already knew that then i'll shut up! :lol:

Fatty - where'd you have that inspection 2 done? I assume from the £ sign you're in the UK. I've never gotten away that lightly for an inspection 2...!

over here in the UK Bmw have a scheme called "PLUS FOUR" any BMW over four years old is entitled to this.
with out it an inspection two would cost me £400-£450 but with this i only paid £230. basically they reduce the labour, parts and service costs.....

.........but then a service lets say on a 316 will cost you less than a 328 but then a service on an M3 will cost you more than a 328...... so depending on what you have and how old will depend on your cost.

the best thing to do is call your local dealership.

also aswell with using a bmw dealership, they collect and deliver the car. when your there you can help your self to drinks and refreshments, at my local dealership they have the internet facility for you to play on. and there is a wide screen Harmon kardon tv to watch. and when the car is done they will valet the car inside and out.
