Got my BMW X3 20d's major service done at 82 months and 55,555 km

The total cost was around Rs 33,000 including the diesel additive which I had run out of.

BHPian Hayek recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Quick update after my next major service - at 82 months, and 55,555 kms (which I crossed a couple of days ago).

Unfortunately, have not had even a moderately long drive (to Poona or Lonavala) since my last post on this thread. It’s just been office, and back - and at best to New Bombay or thereabouts.

Had a sudden scare in July when my AC switch stopped responding, and audio controls from the central ICE control panel stopped working (even though steering audio controls were working). Around the same time, I also got an engine overheating warning.

Sent the car to Infinity Turbhe - who fortunately confirmed that all that had happened was that a connector had broken which linked the panel to the rest of the car, and a bracket leading to the radiator was loose. They also took the opportunity to carry out the IGR cooler service campaign once again. The sense I get is they are checking these things - but replacing them unless needed. Cost was just ₹ 4,333.

Sometime in early October, a sign for a brake fluid update came on. The oil service was less than 2000 km away (though due only in early December based on time). So sent the car in for service in late October. The cost was higher this time - worked out to nearly ₹33,000, including for diesel additive which I had run out of.

Details are attached below.

Overall the car continues to be a joy to drive and I do hope to get a chance to take it for a long drive during the Christmas break.
