Not sure if the monthly service plan is a good idea as I'm unaware of the service schedule.
Could anyone detail what I'll need assuming 9000 per year and include costs? (UK)
Thanks

In the UK, I always felt that the service plan was poor value if you are a private motorist doing low mileage. From what I remember, from my X3 xDrive 30d MSport (purchased from BMW North Oxford), it needed to be serviced at around 18000 miles intervals (about every 2 years) with an inspection, oil and filter change, pollen filter and brake fluid change.
I run a budget account for all my regular household bills including car, VED, insurance, servicing, breakdown, etc. I work out how much this will cost monthly and then transfer the amount from my main account monthly into the budget account and so do not have to worry about large bills because I pay out of the said account.
When I collect my X1 xDrive 2.0i M Sport in a few months' time, I will ask the dealer (Oxford) the cost of the large service and do the appropriate transfer of monies from main to the budget account.
