Hang on to the pleasure of driving – take your BMW for servicing
As a BMW owner, it is a good idea to maintain ones car. On the one hand, it is about safety and on the other, a well maintained car retains its value better.
Most new BMW's have a built-in computer, which continuously requires software updates. Through the computer, the garages can diagnose fault codes or defects on the car (among other things).
As your BMW drives more kilometers, a full software update will be appropriate in relation to the car’s driving properties, environment and fuel economy.
Servicing is a thorough inspection of the car, where the mechanic among other things changes consumables and check that the car is reliable, so that you do not suddenly find that your car breaks down or crashes while driving.

6 things to remember when the car needs to go to the garage
Courtesy car - what do you do while your BMW is being repaired? Have you arranged for other transportation? Otherwise make sure to check with the garage if a courtesy car is available.
Remember to check the payment terms, so that you are not surprised when you pick up the car. Servicing should be handled the same day you drop off the car. Agree on when the car will be ready to be collected.
If there are defects with the car - make an agreement that the garage will call you before the mechanics begin replacing expensive parts. Make sure that the garage has your phone number.
Always arrange that replaced parts are delivered when you pick up your BMW after service.
It’s a also a good idea to have the garage review the invoice with you when they return your car.
