2017 m4 - 1200 mile service
About to hit the 1200 mile mark and ready for first service.
Can anyone outline what will happen at the service? I have heard fluid changes, etc as well as power increase. |

Had mine done today. Fluids and they said a minor software update. If you have DCT that also enables launch control. I didn't notice any difference in power at all and didn't expect to.
I was hoping I was clear of the diff issue (June 16 build) and that was thankfully fixed before I bought the car. Unfortunately I am impacted by the subframe bolt issue though. They didn't have the parts so that will be another trip next week to have them replaced. I'm on mobile but there's a thread about the issues if you search. May-July build dates if I recall correctly. Edit - just realized yours is a 2017. You won't have issues with diff/subframe. Last edited by MikeATL; 11-03-2016 at 07:13 PM.. |

Power increase? LMAO. Crazy how these rumors get started then perpetuated.
There in no power increase or enabling of M mode or anything silly like that. You basically get your oil changed and car is inspected and maybe some other fluids changed. That's it. |

According to my service technician at my dealer, Launch Control is not enabled until the 1200 mile service flag is cleared. This isn't a power increase however.

Bahaha!!
I did refer to the manual quite a few times on our ED trip and it wasn't always as clear as expected. I remember we spent two days trying to figure out how to use adaptive cruise control because I knew this car had to have it if my 335i a few years earlier had it and I ordered all the options......it doesn't have it. It does, however, tell you about the 1200 miles and then some other restrictions after the next few thousand miles. I think it's free and clear after 3,500 miles, but I don't she my manual in front of me. |

I'm hoping this is the case. I had a blast in this car even under 5k for the last 1200 miles, if that was only 80% of its power I'm going to be pretty happy.
