Things like wipers are probably changed along with being up on a lift for ball-joint and general stuff like fluid top off. |

Why would you not do service when it's free? If something were to blow up later down the road, they can void your warranty.

All maintenance services must be performed to keep your warranty coverage valid. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the vehicle as indicated by the vehicle’s Condition Based Service (CBS) display and/or as outlined in the Maintenance Service Summary section of this booklet. Prior to performing service or repair work under warranty, when necessary, the owner must present to the authorized BMW center proof that the periodic maintenance services were performed at the required intervals. The repair invoices/receipts for the completion of required maintenances services should be retained for this purpose. |

Dude, learn about your damn car. In fact, learn about cars in general, because this crap is Car Ownership 101 -- -- I take that back. It's freaking remedial. Repeat after me: "If you don't maintain your car according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, your warranty can be voided." This applies to any car with a warranty, whether new or used. You're welcome, - Your favorite ass

What's considered an "approved facility" for maintenance?
Or is it just any established repair facility that can provide an invoice?

That would be more in the gray area, where a SA/dealer can decide if it's sufficient. Like a "euro specialist" shop doing the walnut blasting with a invoice is fine compared to a backyard mechanic media blasting everything in sight and the only records you have of the transaction are dubious text messages.

If you bought it in October and stored it for winter, you drove it for what, 2 months at most? How many miles did you put on it that it was due for maintenance in that period? You'd have to be on pace for 60,000 miles/year to put 10k miles on it in 2 months!

While I agree with your diagnosis, worst case scenario would be an actual owner who would probably throw the credit card onto the kitchen counter and leave a post it note with,
"Sorry Mom.. Last one blew up.. Went and got a new red one. lol.. It's fuckin woke... " Either way.. I just laugh... |
