Cooper S TLC - advice please :)

[JDM_at_heart]

Hey guys - I put a deposit down for a Cooper S. It's a 2003 plate (reg in May) on 37,500 odd miles.

The service indicator says 13,500 miles. However, I've looked through the manuals etc and I noticed the car has TLC. I check the booklet and there is 1st Oil Service, 1st Inspection Service, 2nd Oil Service and then a stamped stub (assume Brake Fluid??). The TLC runs out when next service is due/May time.

As the car is new to me I wanted to get it into BMW to get it serviced as the car was last serviced at just an independent garage.

Any advice? I'm going to ask for the 1st Inspection Service to be completed/2nd Oil Service??? I am entitled to right?

Thanks in advance.

What is stamped in the service history?
The dealer should be able to give you a run down on what is due next and what it's had.

It's not had anything yet, it was a new car. I have all three tickets in the TLC book

[JDM_at_heart]

Brake Fluid:

~26,000 miles @ BMW/Mini dealership (2005)
~35,000 miles @ Independant garage (last year)

Coolant:

~35,000 miles @ Independant garage (last year)

Pre-delivery check @ BMW/Mini dealership (2003)

Oil Service:

~11,000 miles@ BMW/Mini dealership (2004)

"B" Service (spark plugs, air cleaner element, oil filter, front and rear brake pads):

~35,000 miles @ Independant garage (last year)

I've no idea why someone has written in "B" Service!

So it's not had an "Inspection I" let alone "Inspection II" from Mini.

Hope the above helps. Cheers.

Some times BMW don't tear the tickets out, they just do it and stamp the book because the TL and services are all recorded on their system anyway.
