Our Expert Checklist For BMW 4 Series Service Schedule in Dubai

All BMW cars, not just the BMW 4 series, must undergo regular maintenance to prevent accidents due to malfunctions or damaged parts. Maintenance is extremely important because it protects the car, the driver, and the people around you. The following four BMW Service Schedules are recommended by BMW UAE authorized dealers.

The BMW vehicle itself is luxurious and offers a special experience, but did you know that they also offer special maintenance (inspection and maintenance)? To operate each device safely and optimally and enjoy driving, it is vital to perform maintenance at the appropriate time. This time, we will introduce details of the maintenance services available at BMW-authorized dealers.

1. 1-Year Periodic Inspection

The first part of your BMW’s maintenance schedule is the Statutory annual inspection known as the 12-month inspection. Private passenger cars are required by the Road Transport Vehicle Law to undergo this inspection every year for roadworthiness. In addition to this item, BMW also has a specification in which BMW-specific items are inspected when the condition-based service (CBS) notification function is activated. CBS service is optional in Dubai, UAE.

The statutory one-year periodic inspection is primarily an inspection to see if there are any abnormalities present. This test covers key aspects like brakes, lights, emissions, and general condition but doesn’t involve an exhaustive count of items.

2. Vehicle Inspection (statutory 2-year periodic inspection)

Regular inspections called vehicle inspections every two years are also required by law, and inspections are conducted during the registration renewal. During vehicle inspections, safety is confirmed by actually activating electrical system functions and performing test drives to confirm driving safety. In addition to this item, BMW also performs its inspection items when Condition Based Service (CBS) is displayed, so you can feel even more secure.

The BMW-certified store also performs maintenance to restore your car’s performance, so you can maintain excellent driving performance for a long time. In the unlikely event that a part needs to be replaced, a BMW dealer will be able to smoothly obtain and replace the part.

3. Daily Inspection

Daily inspections are for car owners to determine the need for inspection and maintenance on their own, and carry out inspections and maintenance to the extent possible. The Road Transport Vehicle Act also requires users to always inspect their vehicles for safety.

Owners should judge their own vehicle based on the mileage and driving conditions, and request an inspection if necessary. Check on a daily basis that the amount of fluids such as washer fluid and brake oil is appropriate, that the air pressure is appropriate, that the condition of the tires is correct, such as whether there are any cracks, and that there are no abnormalities with the brakes or engine.

If there is anything you do not understand, or if you find it difficult to perform inspection or maintenance yourself, please contact an authorized BMW dealer.

4. Season-in Check Service

At our BMW repair Workshop in Dubai, we also offer a season-in check service that checks several items before the summer seasons arrive so that you can drive comfortably and safely even in harsh summers in a place like Dubai.

A feature of the season-in check is that it includes not only conventional inspection items but also inspection items that can only be done before the tough season for cars, such as the depth of tire tread and the effectiveness of the air conditioner.

Condition Based Service 

What is Condition Based Service (CBS)? This question is asked frequently in the UAE. BMW is equipped with Condition-Based Service, which allows the vehicle to notify the owner when it is time for an inspection. BMW’s unique program calculates the required inspection time based on mileage, elapsed time, and driving pattern, and displays it on the display. Another feature is that it monitors the wear of engine oil and brake pads, and allows you to identify necessary inspection and maintenance items.

You must be thinking does the BMW 4 series have Condition Based Service (CBS)? Yes, all the BMW models have CBS except the BMW X3 and Z4. Therefore the BMW 1 series service schedule is now easy by indication given by CBS. BMW 1 series and 3 series are the most driven BMW models, you might be driving the car so you have an advantage now. 

What is a Service Interval Indicator?

Some models also include a service interval indicator. The service interval indicator is a function that constantly monitors the vehicle’s condition and notifies you when maintenance is due. Some models are equipped with indicator condition-based service. If OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION is displayed, please contact the BMW expert at Hytec BMW shop.  One of the best specialties is BMW windshield repair services at this shop in Dubai. You can get the free inspection and check if you car is working fine.
