Question on one of the Service Icons

blue2fire · 06-10-2009, 05:28 AM

I think the Brakes, but it should be fine to drive as it will glow red if the car is deemed unsafe.

I received the same symbol the other day. Like the OP said, every component has it's own symbol so idk what "Service Requirement" means. What's good for me is my warranty is still valid so it's not too big of a deal (except for the fact that I'll be without my car for a few days).

I have ~28k miles on my 330 and the symbol says 1600 miles or 2/2010.

The service plan should be seperate from the warranty.

My "car-on-a-lift" icon is also due. I don't think it's brakes because, as your manual shows, those have their own icons (8 & 9?)

WTF are "service requirements"?

The icon doesn’t mean anything is wrong it’s just letting you know you're coming up on the 60k service interval. Mine has 4500 or so to go. Since the e90 doesn’t necessarily have the inspection I/II like the e46 this is just a way to get you to have the car checked out and make sure everything is still peachy ...and they get to charge you for it. Think of it as more of an inspection/ preventative maintenance light.

My car only has 30k though. Inspection I?

My understanding is 30k/60K for service inspections but not necessarily service I/II. On the e90 they got away from all that and track everything on an as needed basis.

And yes the brakes have a totally different icon to indicate replacement/problems

Thanks for the info!

60k inspection does make sense

I was there a few weeks ago and they only do BMW loaners now... the on-site enterprise is no longer there. Just get an early appointment and you should be set
