Re: Do u service your car at 10k ?

$85 x 2 is $170 for 8 liters....

$30 for labour and oil filter plus costs to get rid of your old engine oil....

Just did 20k mileage servicing at workshop they said my F10 needed 8 liters of engine oil. Is it that much?

Also changed rear brake pads which costs me $220+$25 sensor....

Surprise that rear worn out first

All these at non PML workshop as car is PI

Is it be cos of d auto stop function tats why rear brake pads wear out fast?
Mine prompt to change rear brake pads coming 30k.

There aren't any concrete answers to that but like I said, many F10 owners have experienced the same thing and I will not be surprised if I go check my i-drive now, it will show rear pads have worn out faster than my front...one common assumption is that it has to do with how the DSC and traction control works, using rear wheel braking for more than we think. The more powerful cars seem to show it up more


One fella in US asked BMW why and this was the answer:

1) If I do mainly city/local traffic driving, BMW has engineered the car to use the rear brakes more than the front (75% more use of the rear) to bring the car to a stop .... by using the rear brakes more, the car comes to a 'smoother' stop without the traditional 'front end diving'
2) In a high speed braking, like driving in the highway, BMW programmed the car to use more of the front brakes as they do have more braking power than the rear.

This could be true as I visually inspected the rear pads and has been worn down by 50% thickness

Re: Do u service your car at 10k ?

last time when they were using Castrol, they die die say Castrol best in the world for BMW..now they use Shell Helix and change tune.

Next year they change to Mobil 1 and will say those who said Castrol and Shell were good have been sacked and now Mobil is the best in the world for BMW or they resign

Re: Do u service your car at 10k ?

Until (and if ever) MW gets his Spoons-r-Us up and running, I thot i should provide this info for the beneift of all.

I just did my servicing at Munich.

Brought my own oil Got from Giant at $9.90 x 7 = $70. Servicing cost at MA about $80, including oil filter.

Total about $$160.

Or you can wait for Spoons-r-Us but their price may be a little more - MW standard more atas.

Hi st8800... dun mean to sound bitchy.....

True Jason but what's the point of a forum if we can't ask each other questions right? It's not just for my benefit but for other forumers who may be reading as well,
 
Re: Do u service your car at 10k ?
