We're Gloucestershire's only independent BMW Service centre, able to fully update your Online Digital Service History.
All new BMWs now have Digital Service History records. This means no more service book, plus peace of mind that your service history can’t be lost of falsified.
We are Gloucestershire's only independent BMW specialist with a recognised Trade BMW account. This means we have exactly the same software as the BMW main dealer, able to fully and correctly update your Digital Service History.
We will update your Digital Service History after we complete your service. It then gets replicated on the vehicle's I-Drive display, keeping a record that is quick and easy for you to access.
Your key stores all your service date, which we access using our genuine BMW Key Reader. This includes vehicle details, service history record with dates, any current diagnostic fault codes stored in the vehicle's memory, mileages, what's been performed previously, and what's required now or in the near future – all of which we will keep up to date when you visit us.
After completing your service, we will update your Digital Service History via our approved BMW digital account, with a direct link to the BMW Germany HQ database.
We then transfer the updated information from the Digital Service History database directly onto your vehicle – you’ll find it in under Service History in the onscreen menu. Exactly how this displays for you will vary slightly depending on your vehicle model and specification.
Your vehicle then automatically updates the service information stored on your key.
Conditional Based Service (CBS) was introduced in 2002 when the new 7-series model was launched, and is now a standard feature on most new BMWs.
It was designed to offer a flexible maintenance schedule for your vehicle. Rather than using fixed times and distances to determine when servicing is required, CBS gathers information from sensors fitted around the vehicle and lets you know which components need attention. This prevents unnecessary replacement of components and maximises their use.
Components supported by CBS
The components supported varies between models depending on their specification and engine type. But they fall into two main groups:
Group 1: Sensor based items
These items are monitored by physical and virtual sensors. They use variables including driving style, mileage and temperature.
* Engine oil- monitored by the DME/DDE engine control module
* Micro filter/pollen filter
* Front brake pads – Monitored by the DSC stability control module
* Rear brake pads – Monitored by the DSC stability control module
* Diesel Particulate filter – Monitored by the DME/DDE engine control module
Group 2: Internally calculated items
These items do not require physical sensors, and instead operate under fixed intervals. Remaining service life is calculated by the IDrive and based on time and distance.
* Brake fluid
* Spark plugs
* User interface
* Instrument cluster
Viewing your service requirements on the IDrive
Your IDrive will notify you of service requirements, and BMW aim to provide around four weeks’ notice to ensure you have plenty of time to arrange your vehicle service.
The Service Menu in the your IDrive lets you check the current state and remaining serviceable life of all components supported by CBS, using a traffic light system to help you quickly see which items need attention:
Green means no service is required
Yellow means the component is nearing the end of its serviceable life
Red means the service deadline has been passed.
