Attachment 1560700 Logged into some sites and the best offer being given was by Bharti, the insurance with an IDV of 25L costed me 56k, this includes 50% NCB from previous car. The add on covers were : NCB protector (ncb stays 50% for renewal upto 2 claims in a year), Engine and gearbox protector, Consumables cover and RSA. Renewed the insurance online myself before confirming the preferred BMW dealer in Gurgaon has a cashless tie up with Bharti. |

I would start an ownership thread soon :D, the car has been a delight to drive so far. I have covered 9400 kms and this German has been extremely reliable so far, there is not a squeak/rattle, no visits to workshop and i keep using all 184 horses frequently. The first service was carried out at 6600 kms and i have a BSI pack so paid nothing, did get the wipers changed as you get 1 set/year with BSI. |

Isn't the first service due at end of first year/12K kms? My car has done 8000kms and the service reminder keeps popping up. The SA says its ok to drive till I complete 1 year. Should I get it serviced now? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks Coolboy. Any particular thought process in not going with Secure? I've got an absolutely astronomical quote from BMW via Bajaj (combined with Secure etc). Someone else also advised me thatCheers, |

Opt for a comprehensive insurance, choose good add on covers and you are all set to go, don't bother about secure. |

If I want to stick with the exact same RFT tyres whenever its time to change, can I get these with regular tyre dealers without paying this 30-40% premium? I don't want to switch to regular tubeless tyres ever. |
BMW has imported a few CKD of 3 series GT330 as per Zauba |

BMW's do not have any fixed service interval, if you have a BSI pack, your dealership is trying to avoid your service. When the iDrive shows you that your service is due, the dealer is obliged to service your car, why do you want to wait if you have a BSI pack on your car? If you have to pay yourself, then you can wait till 1 year. |

"Water Droplets Problem Sorted Out" Deutsche Motoren Experience:I would rate them with minus 5 stars (-5*). Bird Automotive Experience: I will come back later and I would rate this great experience with minus ten stars (-10*). Overall, I would rate BMW India after sales service with Zero Stars (0*)., for such a great service provided to their customers through their dealerships. |

Hi there. My one year old bmw gt is due for insurance (I take Secure / zero dep etc). Is it fair to just renew it via BMW itself or to approach outside agents? Any tips would be helpful. thanks |

i was not interested in and the tyres cover is useless after 1 year as they deduct their compensation for tyre wear and the prices of tyres at BMW dealerships are 30-40% higher of what you get outside at a shop. |

Sure, you can get RFTs at any reputed tyre shop and at a reasonable price. I had inquire about it recently and got a quote of 15500/- a piece for 225/50 R17 Goodyear. Not sure what the dealer is quoting. Shall find out when during next servicing. |

Wow, I was worried about Deutsche being bad, looks like Bird is another level. Thankfully BMW India is responsive and helpful, but I disagree with this in principle. I should not have to run around to get the quality of service I pay for. These guys don't know basic stuff like alignment, issues with car and end up ruining the interiors. This makes me wonder if we should open a BMW ownership thread where people from all across can come and discuss since many of us keep facing the same issues (lights, mirror squeaking, water in car etc.) it would serve as a great wiki as well. Also maybe a quoting system where we can tag other members in replies? |

Does anyone know someone senior in Navnit Mumbai service department. I'm facing some complete incompetence from them regarding my first service. Will update details in my ownership report but for now any specific contacts will be helpful. Thanks. |

Also I would like to mention that after the BMW's reply to change the headlights, within 2 hours the dealership called me and told that they have already ordered the headlight and once it arrives they will do the rest. As they told, they did exactly same, they called and sent their driver and did a clean job and I am very satisfied with their service. The work was complete and car was returned in perfect condition. They also gave me the invoice of the headlight without mentioning the price stating that changed under warranty. I agree with your idea of a separate BMW ownership/maintenance thread to discuss all the minor/major issues. This morning, I wanted to check the tire pressure on each tire, before refilling. I was shocked to see that the TPM did not measure the pressure on each tire. Internationally, it is available from MY2015 F30 cars. My idrive said "TPM is active", thats all. I also don't see the "office" function in idrive. I am annoyed that several small key features have been removed from idrive software here. |
