I recently bought a 530D F10 (2013) with just over 100k on the clock. It came with a 3rd party warranty that insists that servicing is kept up to date in accordance with the manafacturer schedule.
However, I'm at a loss as to what the correct servicing procedure is for the vehicle. BMW tell me it is condition based servicing and the car will decide when a service is due. Is this correct? IE: It isn't every x months or so many 1000 miles (whichever comes first) ?
The last service in the iDrive was at 97k in September 2020 by a BMW specialist.
The car (and the Cardata report) is telling me that it is next due in 17000 miles in September 2022 !
I asked the warranty company and they said they have no idea (not helpful at all).
Any ideas would be much appreciated as I don't want to fork out £450 for a service if it doesn't need it.
Car is currently on 101457 miles. This is the servicing that has been done so far in iDrive - Is this all up to date as far as the BMW schedule goes (and if not why is the car telling me the next service is in 17k or 2022) ?
