E70 3.0d servicing

Post by silvershower » Sat Apr 07, 2018 2:52 pm

Hi, just bought one of these for my wife but it's showing 114k miles, and recent service history doesn't show a major service since 2013/14. Am I best off getting the 'giant' service done i.e. the every 60k miles one? thanks

Needs doing every two years at the longest.  It most likely has had one but not at an official dealer.  I do less than 5k a year now and it still flags up every two years regardless.

What’s on the list for major service for every 60k

not sure. There is no checklist with the car documents, but i have seen someone discussing it on here i think that the CBS triggers a big service every 60k or so. That's all i know, but it could of course be wrong. Hoping someone on here would know?
