Re: First Servicing for New F30
Is the service mileage on the instrument panel a countdown to when service is required? Or do we send for servicing when we hit that mileage?
E.g. if instrument cluster says service 11,000 km, does it mean I can still drive for 11,000 km before servicing?

Same here. Can wash off with normal car wash, but takes quite a bit of time. Bought the BMW wheel cleaner. Just spray and hose off. Haven't tried yet.
Was told that the earlier batches of 3 series was from Germany and current batches from South Africa.
Quite easy to check since the label plate on the driver's side state made in Germany if it is from Germany. Otherwise it doesn't state where it is made in.
Did a check on my VIN...

The passenger side wing mirror swings down when you put the car in reverse.
But it only does so when the wing mirror adjustment tab is switched to the driver's side.
Was polishing my brand new BMW yesterday when I noticed that the rear light housing was loose and had come off at one end.
Bought car to PML and was told that I needed to leave car at the workshop and pick up after Christmas. Looks like I am experiencing the wonderful after sales services...
Re: Hi, Just bought a 316 and thought i should join this forum
Have the 316 Business also. Considered 17" tires. But didn't think anyone would really notice them.
Also, handling is good with 16" already. 17" would just increase fuel consumption, road noise and make the ride harsher.
Got my 316 a few weeks ago.
Enjoying the handling. In terms of power, I find Eco Pro sufficient most of the time. Comfort is necessary only for overtaking when going uphill.
Best mileage obtained so far is 4.8l/100 km. Average is 8.0l/100 km.

To flip the wipers up, you need the wipers in the vertical position.
To do so, turn the engine and electronics off, then push the wiper lever all the way up and hold for 3 secs. The wiper will sweep twice and then stop in the vertical position.
