 Posted: Thu 22nd Apr 13:26 Post subject: Service indicator - miles or date? |
 |
|
According to my service indicator, I have 4,500 miles left to go, but it is a year since my last service and the screen also gives me a "05/10"...
User manual isn't clear to me - does it need a service now (May 2010) or can I wait 4,500 miles?
Thanks
(Z4 3.0 2004)

I think you go by the miles for a service and the date is for brake fluid change.
That how I understood when I looked it up in the user manual anyway

That's right the brake fluid change on a Z4 is the same as the Z3 - every two years. A word of caution though as Mrs ZC had an oil service + brake fluid change at our local main dealer mainly because they were fighting BMW UK to get the boot welds repaired on my Z3 FOC. When I got the Z4 home and checked the bleed nipples hadn't been touched - they had just sucked the fluid out of the reservoir and re-filled it. Luckily I had just done the brake fluid change on the Z3 and had some spare so I did the Z4 myself.

Hi,
"4,500" miles is when your next service, Oil or Inspection is due.
The date "5/10" is when you next brake fluid change is due.
Regards,
Chris.
