What are the service intervals for the 435d?

The onboard service indicator will activate when maintenance is required. However, in my view, the intervals between services are too lengthy, which may lead to problems with the lower engine components and timing chains. No technician will provide oil changes at a lower cost than extra ones, and throughout the time I had my 640d, I performed an oil change every six months. Fortunately, I had the privilege of having friends who run a garage, allowing me to use their ramps and get oil at discounted trade pricing. I would not exceed a maximum duration of 12 months or a mileage of ten thousand miles, whichever occurs first, for leaving oil in the engine. At now, I own a recently designed M4 model, while my spouse owns a newly designed 118i model, both of which come with a BMW guarantee. This implies that we are obligated to get them serviced as needed, including regular oil changes at the halfway point. Consistently, I use an authentic filter and high-quality oil.
Thank you

I am purchasing a 435d F33 vehicle, and the third and fourth maintenance services are indicated as "ok" but are shown in an amber colour. The first two items are green "Ok's". Subsequently, the automobile has been serviced in non-BMW dealerships.

I need to schedule an oil and filter change for my autos either every 7,000 km or every 12 months.
Currently, I own three automobiles. Unfortunately, the one valued at 7,000 currency units is absent. Consequently, I plan to spend a duration of 12 months doing maintenance on one of my vehicles while it undergoes a Ministry of Transport examination. It is worth noting that my acquaintance, who goes by the name of "m8," is the proprietor of the automotive repair establishment. During this time, I will take a short break while the oil is being drained from the vehicle.

Indeed, I first inferred that the services were completed, although with a delay. In the past, I had a 335d LCI and I believed that the recommended service intervals were either every 2 years or around every 18-24k miles, like you said.
The automobile I am considering has the listed services on the iDrive system, as seen in the picture.

I question if all of these oil services are legitimate. It seems unlikely that they were performed exactly two months apart, unless they were done by dealerships who service vehicles upon acquisition. Additionally, the most recent service was conducted after the car had already travelled over 20,000 miles.Where have the last four years gone? If I were in your position, I would recommend leaving things as it is, until you are able to track more services. There are plenty of automobiles available in the vicinity.

The automobile has undergone maintenance. Since 2020, I have seen that other garage locations lack access to the BMW service portal. The automobile was last serviced at 53,000 km and its current mileage is 53,800 kilometres.
The automobile in question is a 2015 F33 model with a very low mileage of just under 54,000. What caught my attention about this car is its striking tanzanite blue colour and the fact that it comes equipped with authentic M4 forged wheels.
It is unsatisfactory that one service is delayed by a month and costs an additional 20,000 dollars for the whole year. Based on my understanding, the automobile often travelled on the freeway that year since its owner, who was a company owner, had difficulties in using the car owing to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

If the maintenance were conducted in accordance with BMW's recommended service intervals, it is probable that only every other service would need an oil change. The minor service just involves the replacement of brake fluid. You can determine by accessing each individual service. If the vehicle has only accumulated 11,000 km in the last four years and has had regular maintenance, then it should be in satisfactory condition. The first four are the problem.

I presume that the first four services shown on the Idrive at BMW will adhere to their prescribed maintenance procedures, but will be designated as "OK" in orange based on the completion of certain dates or mileage. I have come across several reports of individuals who were impacted by the COVID situation, resulting in their vehicles' service history being documented with an orange "OK" mark.
Do you recommend abandoning it due to the quality of the maintenance? The individual claimed to possess all the documentation substantiating the maintenance performed from 2020 up to the present.
