Looking at a 2020 M340i. The main dealer has said that it’s just had its first service at 17k miles with them. Appreciate it’s normally 2 years or condition based, but what’s the mileage requirement?

I’ve asked if the service has a green OK or an amber OK in the service history. They didn’t cover that in their response so I’ll have to go back again to ask.

However thought I’d ask on here.

Seems right to me, My M340i has just passed 5,600 miles from new and it's telling me it's another 15,000 miles (or April 2023) until the first oil change is required

[Charlie (Wessex)]

I'm on about 11k and the service is in about 7k miles. App says it's an oil service which I'm more than OK with. TBH happy to do an annual oil service rather than time based one.

Not sure I'll be going to a dealer though, as got a brilliant ex master tech indy 3 miles from me who has always looked after my BMs.

[Paul D3]

Great, sounds like it’s ok. I’ll just get that confirmation on the service entry on the system.

Thanks

[Amos91]

Will be about that and will go down dependent on condition, driving style etc.

Seems about right to me too, mine's just passed 5k miles and is showing 15k to next (oil) service.

Yup, a car which spends a lot of time doing cold starts and city driving might be less than 15k miles between services, a car which spends most of the running time hot and in higher gears (motorway miles) could well see 20k miles between services, i would think most would be about 17/18k miles.

It's not even engine stop/starts. A 330e that runs mostly on electric still needs servicing at similar intervals.

[k755]

My 330e is going in next month for a first service has done 12k was registered JAN 20.

Is it me or can I not find a 2020 340i anywhere!? When I try nationwide on Auto Trader and BMW AU, only 2018/19 cars come up!? Is it to do with lack of sales during the pandemic? Also I guess leasing deals are still going for that year? Might see more up for sale in March/April next year, when the two year deals come to an end?

340i was the old F30 version, not made after 2019. Try searching for M340i.

The maintenance minder in my 2021 M340i recommended an oil change soon at about 10k miles and I got it changed at 10.5k miles. I bought the car in June and had a lot of highway driving, so the service was done in October (4 months). 17k miles seems like a really long interval.

[siwatkins]

My 2018 435D is a low mileage car (14k miles) and I'm hitting the time bound rather than the mileage bounds interval. My next one is due in October 22, or 16777 miles it's telling me at the moment. Hoping it will be part exed for my M440i replacement before I have to do either limit.

[a.summers86]

Do diesels have shorter intervals these days? The reason I ask is all my previous BMW’s have been around 17/18k between services. My g20 320d had its first at 11800miles and according to the on board computer will have done 14k when it’s due it’s next.

I do 80% motorway driving at sub 70mph and can count on one hand how many times the engine has gone over 3k rpm during a drive. Just seems very low to say I drive like little miss daisy.

[Mattyk]

Mine was 18 months / just over 11k miles

[Paul D3]

Looked at a few and they seem to be set at 2 years 19k intervals. They are of course condition based, so that 19k drops.
