First Check-up - 12,000 Km - What I REALLY need to change?
Hi folks,
I finally drove 12,000 Km so I need to do my first check-up. I live in Brazil and BMW has a bad reputation of very expensive check-ups. I am afraid they will try to replace every single filter/liquid on the car in order to charge me as much as possible. A good friend told me that there are some filters/things that not need to be change in the first check. anybody can make a list of which items I will be forced to replace? I have a X1 sDrive18 gasoline, model 2013. Many thanks in advance. Jose |

Cabin air filter's probably not a bad idea.

Wiper blades are probably getting nasty as well.

Bump.
Is a service required at 12,000 KM (~7500 miles) or did your Condition-based Service Monitor determine a service was required at 12000 km?? |

the invoice said 24 months or 12,000 Km.... I am over 10,000 Km... and the car started to show a message of Km left for revision.
I would like to only change the necessary items... as I said here the offcial service is pretty expensive.. if I can still use some liquids or filters.. I prefer to do so. |

Hmmm. Sounds like the 24 months may be what is telling you a service is due versus the 12000 km (I may be wrong but that sounds like a low mileage by BMW standards for the scheduled first service). My Service data is showing I have another year to go (at or about 24 months) before a first service is due. |
