Howdy folks,

I'm struggling to find intervals for the G20 anywhere, particularly regarding the air filter and sparks.

Could someone kindly assist / advise?

Car is on 25k miles and had its 2nd oil change (by me) recently (was with a dealer as a demo until 7.5 k miles)

Tks in adv

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the below should be correct under normal driving conditions:

Air filter - 30k
Spark plugs - 60k

Got me wondering...

With the 330e, is that engine driven miles, or total vehicle mileage.

Possibly a serious question for some users... How's it work with a PHEV? Where the ICE may have little use.

Good question as to which I do not have the answer unfortunately. I can consult the BMW G20 tech manual and let you know

I also was intrigued about this all. I asked a question a while ago about how this operation all works -

If you're darting around in leccy mode and then join a fast road, the ICE kicks in at around 70 mph ish, but the engine is obviously cold at that moment....
How does all that work?!

I'm sure the oil change intervals are taken into account for the leccy miles but I'd still like to complete more regular changes as a precaution.

I suppose we could reason that if the ICE runs most of the miles, then typical ICE service interval schedules are well established. If the ICE only gets used for a lower percentage of the mileage, oil changes at typical ICE intervals are on the safe side for a more abusive working cycle.

The part that does seem overkill, is spark plugs and air filter, as they have more service life in them, with say, 25% use of the ICE over the mileage.

Another follow up.

I've always been partial to iridium plugs from NGK for my motorcycles, but as this is a new one for me, I can't seem to find an ideal resource on finding these (UK).
Any help, pls?

Think I answered my own question - https://www.ngkpartfinder.co.uk/cata...ES/2019/18128/

Just had my 2020 330e in for a service. Oil change was done at 12k km 2 years ago when I picked it up.
Today it has 45k km on it. Despite 75% of my driving being electric only, bmw still did the spark plugs, oil change, oil filters and air filters etc in line with their normal ice only schedule today. For a nice sum of €738…

Must admit, I was expecting around 500-550, so thought it was on the expensive side. Though anything related to cars in The Netherlands is generally a rip off anyway.
