Plan trips every single weekend (As I don’t get to drive much during the weekday).Buy unnecessary groceries just because I want to take the car out for a spin.I’m searching for excuses to drive the car like: Every mile of the past 20,000 miles has been the best driving experience of my life. I think this car has changed that mindset and ownership style as I don’t plan to sell this car for the next 5 years. Heck, I am like that who rarely uses brains and rides on emotions/feelings/heart. As you can imagine, it makes zero financial sense to not just buy new but, also change the auto as early as 3-years passing on the depreciation benefit to the next owner. Besides this issue, I have never owned a preowned vehicle in my life. One of the biggest concerns (more than me, it’s for my family) is that I lose interest in my steed after usually the 3-year mark or sometimes even before that. 20,000kms Ownership UpdateĪs some of you are aware that I have a long history of car and motorcycle ownership and many of them are shared here on the forum as ownership threads. Prior to that, I enjoyed an overnight experience of this. More details on that 10’o clock exciting appointment can be found here. I picked up the loaner and drove over to another car dealership where I had an appointment at 10:00 am Well, I told him “Negotiating what’s not regular is what I do for a living”. Within 15 minutes we were done and he handed over a 2021 BMW X3 30e (Hybrid car) with a comment “we normally don’t do loaners for a regular service when cars are returned the same day”. They normally don’t remove the pads and clean but Chris made an exception. I also requested them to clean the brake pads as I felt the bite was not as strong as when it was brand new. I declined as I would be changing the tyres soon and would get them all balanced and aligned at that time. I got feedback that my rear tyres from inside were wearing out faster so an alignment was recommended and was quoted $250 as that’s not covered in BMW Care. Check tyre depth of all tires as I have reached 20,000 miles on my stock Pirelli run flats.I dropped off the car at 9:00 am with the following requests to Chris (My Service Advisor) I was at 19,600 miles but, I confirmed the appointment as the next date was far out and also didn’t have a loaner option. Since everyone is running busy and have long waiting for appointments, I got one that was earlier than my planned 20K miles completion. I was fast approaching 20K miles so I decided to schedule a service with BMW. 20,000 Miles (32,000 Kms) Regular Service 19 Months Ownershipīlau Rakete has been serving me well for the last 19 months that I have owned this amazing performance SUV. With minor updates, the power output can be increased to 650 BHP.īHPian mobike008 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
The SUV has the most tunable engine that BMW has ever produced.
