BMW First

[318 iS Cosmos]

My experience with Frank Keane Blackrock was that I had to make a booking for a week later just to get windscreen washer fluid top up. They are totally overcome by the M&G business that has nowhere else to go. I can’t understand why they haven’t made the decision to open weekends to clear the backlog. BMW Ireland are going to have to get a service centre opened somewhere Southside or they are going to lose business.

I'm sorry, but why would you even bother to go to a dealers to for a windscreen wash top up?

The bmw screen wash is particularly good.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

I thought this was an enthusiast site, yet we have people going to a dealers for screenwash top-ups.....

FFS - Aldi do 5 litres of ready to use (a rip-off in itself) screenwash for like €2.99 and it's great ! Cherry smell too for those that care....

Wow take it easy lads

It’s a top up of all fluids, and you don’t have to go specifically for it. I brought the e39 for a valet at Joe Duffy after the Scotland trip (you’re entitled to 1 a month) knowing it could use an oil top up, and picked it up later spotless with a 0.5 Litre oil top up and windscreen wash topped up too (not that it was the reason I went).

Edit: here are some photos (any excuse )

Well that makes more sense, I guess! Peter, your car is just perfect. Such a timeless shape

Yea, BMW First really works for me. I've made use of the bulb and wiper replacements already, saved on service costs, it saves me oil top up and wash/valet costs, and the fuel discount is a bonus too. The fleet is the icing on the cake

Cheers, Shane! Mr Nagashima did an amazing job he designed the e36 and the e39, 2 of my favourite looking BMWs!

Slight tangent... I never think of the e39 as an old car in my mind, but watching videos like this really makes you realise it's a product of a different time! What an excellent car for still being perfectly useable as a daily driver in 2019!

I'd say the lads in there actually enjoyed working on the Peter.

I think the E39 is ageing incredibly well. Definitely a high point looks and engineering wise for BMW.

Because they are located 1 minute from my office and it’s included in the subscription. But you’re not really getting my point.

Don’t be a cock, just because I go to a main dealer for free screenwash doesn’t make me any less of an enthusiast than you.
