I lease a 2013 320i with Xdrive. BMW pays for the service. My car just hit 9,000 miles about a year and a half after the in service date. I got an email from the company dealer telling me to come in for a one-year oil change. The manufacturer calls for 14,000 miles or whatever the service indicator says.
I get the service done and the car is handed back to me. I read the bill and see that they have changed the wiper blades (good), performed a recall involving grommets (okay) .
Lastly, they have flushed, filled and bled the braking system.
No oil change.
I went back in. After a back-and-forth, they asked if I wanted my oil change. They performed the service (BMW 5W30 Syn) and sent me on my way. They refused to reset my service indicator because BMW would not let them. They told me to come back for oil when the indicator says so.
Just adding to the mix, for the identical 2014 model, the manufacturer has dropped to 10,000 miles.
I should note that the dealer was pleasant, personable and tried to explain their positions. I have new oil in the sump and am not out one penny.
But I don't get a world where brake fluid is changed before the first oil change. I also feel that BMW has not communicated clearly on the OCI's most appropriate for their cars.
