520d LCI first service tomorrow.

My car is going in for it's first service tomorrow, can't believe I've clocked up nearly 19,000 miles since September!

They will hopefully be able to fix the idrive system that randomly cuts out about once a fortnight!

It's on a full maintance lease from Alphabet so I don't need to worry about the cost at least!

Wow, 19,000 since September
Safe to say the car is nicely run in now. Hopefully they'll sort the idrive issue, not seem many/any others post about it on here though.

A different dealer did a software update just before Christmas, but that didn't work.

The dealer told me this morning that they would keep it for two days to try to get to the bottom of it. They called around 4pm to say they are waiting for final conformation, but it looks like they will have to replace the 'whole combox', whatever that is?!?!?

The loan car is a mini cooper D auto, not quite what I'm use to but fun on the twisty bits!

Quick update, the combox apparently does need replacing, but it's on 10 working day back order from Germany. So I have my car back for now and will take it back in when they have the parts.

I must say, this dealer is the nicest dealer I've ever had to deal with, (I'm a fleet manager so I deal with a lot!) they always seen to have the attitude that whatever I need, it's no problem at all!

I always tell the dealer that I need an auto due the arthritis in my foot, usually gets me a better car although I'm fine with a manual!
