90Km - Major service coming?
Hi there
I'm looking to buy a private '08 135 with 90,000 Km and I was wondering if a major service would be coming due to the number of Km's. The owner has the service book all stamped by a BMW dealer but missing the invoices. I contacted the dealer and asked for them I was told they can print them due to a change of system (come on, are you BMW or what?), so the Service Manager agreed to send me a summary of what has been done to the car with dates and Km's. Would really appreciate your thoughts Cheers |

There's no such thing as a major service for modern BMWs since they use condition based servicing. Basically you drive until the car tells you it needs something, whether it be an inspection or consumables like brakes, oil, serpentine belt etc or something fails, e.g waterpump, fuel pump, injectors etc.
Replacing the water pump at high kms is not necessary, but rather preventative insurance so that it's less likely to leave you stranded somewhere. FYI my girlfriend's E88 is at 120,000kms and the water pump is still going strong. No injector issues. Original plugs and coils. Only had the HPFP replaced at about 60,000kms.

99% of them on the road would be the same as that as the owners would just follow the official BMW intervals.
