to those more exp bros, my first time owning conti car. so SE told me servicing is at 12k and to follow the on board computer prompt and instructions. now at 4k mileage, the prompt still say 11k more to servicing or at 04/2019 (collected in 04/2018). 

 

does it mean servicing is now delayed to 15k instead or i should still send in at 12k?

 

It is condition-based servicing.  Just follow on-board computer.

 

When it reached 2k to go, just go and make your appointment.

It is NOT just a count down reminder.

 

It is condition-based servicing.

2nd Review.

After driving for 1750km with my 116d, I started to like the car more and enjoy driving it . 

Last week managed to travel to Malaysia to test its higher speed cruising ability.. 

 

To my surprise, the car picking up speed well from 120km/h to 160km/h.(Good sweet spot for the turbo spool zone) ,Much  better than I expected .  this serves me welll ,which  i mostly cruising at leisure pace around 140 to 160 at NSHY, good for long distance drive . 

 

 

Other interesting findings regarding Diesel , Malaysia Petronas Euro 5  Diesel gave smoother, quieter ,higher low end torque , car move off smoothly , Car becomes more linear but you feel it like  driving a Higher CC NA Car..Typical effects of using VPower.comparing to Singapore Shell Fuelsave Diesel(lag slightly and catapult  ,typical Shell 98 on Turbo charge car) . Next round will try other Diesel Brand.. BHP and Petron should be good.

Probably plenty of start-stop traffic for morning school runs, but my service minder comes on every 8-9k  [crazy]

If yours is diesel, it is a good idea to drive it continuously for 1hr once a mth

yeah ... follow the lead for BMW X1 and BMW 2 AT/GT

entry level = FWD to maintain or increase profit margin

hopefully they don't make 3-series and above to become FWD too [bigcry]
