Brake fluid change

Mine is due (was due end of November). I can’t get it into BMW for 2 weeks as the EGR recall is due too, and the soonest they can do that is 16th Dec.

Given brake fluid is a very basic service item and the car is 7 years old, I can’t see much point in waiting to have BMW do it 2 weeks time when kwikfit could probably do it tomorrow.

Am I missing anything? Just get it done asap rather than wait for BMW?

Depends if you are bothered about it not being on the idrive, I don't think Kwikfit could upload it.

It's no big deal if it's late.

I'm in exactly the same boat. EGR recall due and warning for brake fluid popped up. Well i say warning i see it more as advisory. I'll let BMW sort mine out as part of the recall but that won't be to mid Jan unless they can fit me in this side of Christmas.

If kwikfit can cancel the warning, then go with them.
If they can't then wait till you can book the EGR recall and get it all done at the same time, the two years thing is not crucial.
