Service history question

Miked5 · 01-20-2023, 01:53 PM

I’ve just bought an approved used 2017 X1 from Stratstone BMW but I’m confused about the last service on the idrive. They confirmed to me that the service history was up to date and if anything needed doing it would be done before collection. But looking at the last service the brake fluid got changed but no vehicle inspection!

Is this something BMW have missed and I should give them a call? Why was the brake fluid changed but no vehicle inspection?

there is a chance it was simply overmissed.

i’d give them a shout and see what they say.

Did you manage to get this sorted. I had a similar issue and they did an over the air update for me. I could then go into my service menu and update it as done.

Was the Vehicle Inspection performed? If yes, then they didn’t reset the service interval. If they didn’t do the vehicle inspection, then the service wasn’t performed (it has to be paid for if not under warranty)..and only the brake fluid service was performed and reset.

If you know for certain that the service was performed…you can reset the Vehicle Service interval yourself using either the button on your instrument cluster…or the BC button on your turn indicator stalk (if you don’t have a button on your cluster).

You also need to know how to pout your car in service mode. I don’t know what model year you have or which procedure…but it’s either one press of the START button…or 3 quick presses of the START button.

The vehicle inspection is actually the MOT (annual government mandated inspection in the UK). It's not a BMW service inspection.

You can set the date yourself.
Highlight the date, press the idrive controller and you'll find you can adjust the date to whenever the next MOT is due.
