1 Series — Simplest BMW to Service
The F20 1 Series has the simplest service schedule of any BMW we work on. The B38 116i service with oil and filter at 4M Car Care is RM 180–280. The smaller engine, rear-wheel drive without AWD complexity, and shared platform with the 2 Series make it the easiest BMW to budget for. If you are new to BMW ownership and want predictable costs, the F20 116i B38 is our recommended entry point.
