BMW Inspection II

[DeanoBlado]

Hi guys

I ma having a look at a service history of a e46. What does the BMW Inspection I, BMW Inspection II mean?

Is it only an inspection or a service of some sort?

 

[freerider]

Its just different things that they check, Inspection II is the big checkup.

It goes:

oil service

inspection I

oil service

inspection II

oil service

and so on

 

[DeanoBlado]

I just had inspection I done on my car, and it cost me R2200.

After the inspection do they now tell you what is wrong/needs replacing? then do the service?
what was done on your inspectionI

 

[freerider]

It was normal oil service and a few other things that were done, 2 hours labour for the inspection.

I put in a K&N filter, and a new cabin filter. Oh and that included the labour for fitting my strut brace while the car was there.

Somewhere in the handbook or service book it should list what gets done at the specific services..

Not too bad for R2200 you will pay that for almost any car you take for service at a dealer so do people always say it expensive to maintain a BMW?

 

[freerider]

yeah, guy in the office here just paid R4600 for a major service on his diesel corsa bakkie

I paid a grand for an oil change on my gti 3 months ago, from Barons.

Holy f:cursin:ck i pay R1760.00 for a inspection II and a radiator flush at "Bosh service centre" WOW where do you guys service your cars in JHB as i am moving their soon?

 

[andrewbuch]

I just paid R4000 For a inspection 2. Including full fluid flush of gearbox, diff, radiator, brake fluid, power steering fluid, Micro filter, Oil service, Tune up, Spark plugs, air filter, Fuel filter, Propshaft coupling. Did not do cambelt as it was done 20 000Km ago.
I did not think that was bad at all. and only took the guy 1 day

 

[freerider]

there is no cambelt dude

 

[andrewbuch]

there is no cambelt dude

WHere u mean? on the E46's? or the E36?

 

[zaleonardz]

He's being technical

 

[andrewbuch]

is this the same story as tire thread?

 

[kabal]

no, it uses a chain, which doesnt need to be replaced

 

[andrewbuch]

no, it uses a chain, which doesnt need to be replaced

I am confused.. My old E30 had a timing chain, Got it replaced at 360 000Km.. My E36 states in the service book that it needs a cambelt change every 40K Km's..
