    Service due on the motor. 2 and a half years old, just over 20K miles and they tell me it needs spark plugs.  Seriously - last petrol car I owned had em changed every 60k miles with a gap check/ adjustment every service.  Madness

      Service it yourself next time 🙂

       

      They probably took your old spark plugs out and put it in the next car they said needed new spark plugs. Or maybe, didnt even change them at all.

       

      I mean was in running rough at all? Anyway warning codes?

      Nope, condition based servicing says inspection and oil change.  Service schedule says park plugs as part of every other oil change.  Live and learn, I keep saying now I work close by and don't have young children that I'll just buy beaters that I'll work on myself / scap when necessary... but then never do.  Maybe another year on this one then will see again.

      Yeah I was thinking with such a new car you'd wanna retain the service history. Don't those newer three pots run a healthy amount of boost to compensate for lack of displacement?

       

      My brother has one as an instructor car (not the BMW), it's a right hoot to drive can't tell it's a 1.0l the way it delivers such a torquey power band.
