I did try Socar but they did not have any BMW’s. Ended up renting from Nexx car rental.

Has anyone paid for 1st annual service out of pocket recently (not through BSI)?

BMW India website shows 1st service cost as INR 12,500 incl parts, labour, fees and taxes.

I checked with a few dealers in KA state and they quote between INR 28,000 and INR 35,000.

I've reached out to BMW India to understand this discrepancy, but want to hear from others who may have not taken BSI.

Only explanation I can think of is the website does not consider cost of engine oil.

Although I had BSI for my first free services, my SA showed me the first year invoice they sent to BMW. It was in the range of 22K if I recall.

No way is it 12.5K in any case!

I recently completed the first service of my 330Li with about 10,500km on the odo. It was a routine service with micro filter, engine oil, air filter change and value added service of AC disinfection. I don’t have BSI and ended up paying around 21k (13k parts, 5k labor, 3k tax). Decided not to do wheeling alignment / balancing.

Follow up:
Since car had run less than 7k, I requested for engine oil service only. Opted out of replacing air filter, micro filter and other items like car wash
Final total was 14.5k instead of 30k.

My first service in 11/22 came up to about Rs. 29k. This was after 4 months and ~9k km.

Main line items were:
- air filter
- micro filter
- engine oil
- service cost for wheel replacement (pothole, Tyre burst, was covered under secure advance)

I have been facing a peculiar issue with the AC. Even when the air flow is directed into the cabin, there is a constant flow of air from the windscreen ducts behind the sub-woofer leading to condensation on the windscreen.

BMW dealership has not been able to fix the problem and is now taking refuge by saying that this is the design of the system.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggested solutions?

I am based in Bangalore and have been in the market the last few months , specifically for a BMW 330I M Sport only. Have been offered a 2022 April month car genuinely done 7000 kms by the BMW dealer for Rs 53.50 lakhs. The car is pristine and black in colour. What would be the right price to pay ? The seller is not budging on the price and I need to decide in the next couple of days. Would love to hear from the experts here.

Check the eyecare 3.0, if you are still looking for one.

What would be a good price for 2021 Aug model 330i M Sport in Bangalore? The car has run around 25K km. Single owner.

Is there any active thread on the 320d G20? All I could find was the F30 and this 330i thread. If anyone could please help me find the thread.

Very happy to share that after a lot of deliberations, today, I am the proud owner of a pre-loved 330i. The beauty was owned by my company and was for us of a senior official who relocated outside India. Regd in Dec 2021 and has run 14000kms. Will share more details in sometime. I thank all the owners whose posts here and on other ownership reviews have been the inspiration to go for it.
