Insp I vs Insp II ? ? ?

[exboxster]

Hi- whats the difference between the 2 levels? I know the Insp II is the bigger. Does it include brake fluid change ?
thanks

Inspection 2 doesn't include a brake fluid change, this is always charged seperately.

Spark plugs and air filter are changed at the inspection 2, and some cars also have gearbox and diff oil changed.

If you've got the service schedule sheet from a previous service, it should be clear to see what's different. Since my car has been out of warranty and so using a local BMW independent specialist for servicing etc., I now miss out the Inspection I and just do Oil Services and Inspection IIs.

I do high mmotorway miles, so basically do Oil Service according to schedule, another Oil Service 'half way' to the Inspection II, then Inspection II (whether it should be I or II), as the Inspection I just doesn't seem good value for money compared to the Inspection II.

Brake Fluid change is meant to be every 2 years regardless of mileage, but personally I think that's a bit of a con for ordinary road-going vehicles - another money spinner for the dealers even if it's hydro-absorbic or whatever the terminology is!

Hope this helps,
