M135i - Last service before motor plan expires

[leutloela]

My BMW M135i is going in for one last service before motor plan expires - what key parts should I get them to focus on/ change to avoid paying out of pocket post motor plan?
I would appreciate a word of advise on this one.

Word of advise on this one, introduction would be nice first before asking for advice.

LoL - fair enough. Rude of me there!
Thabo and I’m based in Jhb. I’m obviously new to the app and group hence I missed the house keeping rules.
What sort of information with regards to introductions and would you like?
Not shy to share as I’m assuming this is a safe environment.

No worries bud, they guys usually like some pictures etc, IMO Not much to worry about the m135i, i would say waterpump, thermostat and Oil Filter Housing Gaskets, But i am sure hoping some of the other guys will also add.

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll add a profile pic shortly. Getting to grips with the app.
It will also be interesting to hear about various tuning options on the car after the last services. But, I will leave that for later.

Yes agreed - definitely taking up an extended warranty. The extended motorplan is quite pricey given the amount of km they offer.

Definitely get some kind of cover. Check brake pads and discs as well.

Out of interest what is the cost of the motorplan vs. warranty. There are a few threads on here with guys discussing what they are getting from each of the warranty options out there.

Thanks for that!

I received the following quotes for the extended motorplan:
12 months - 115,000 km - R40408 (VAT incl)
12 months - 120,000 km - R49194 (VAT incl)
12 months - 125,000 km - R58201 (VAT incl)
12 months - 130,000 km - R67426 (VAT incl)

I will get the extended warranty prices shortly.

:skit: wow those quotes!

I thought you don't get mileage limitations if you extend after the initial 5 year period :fencelook:

By the way welcome.

Wow those prices are nuts... more than double what it cost me for my M5 :skit:

Was that from the dealer or off owners circle?

Prices were from an official dealer.
