Not included — no upsells

Everything above is included in your plan. The only items not included are small wear parts like wiper blades and light bulbs — replaced only if you ask, never as a pushy upsell. The rest below sits outside routine maintenance: quoted first, only if you ask.

Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: we go through the whole vehicle — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses and the battery — record its condition from day one and connect it to Aperio, and if an oil change or tire rotation is due we do it at that same visit. One-time onboarding — $45 per vehicle. Pay it once; that vehicle is in for life.

Specification by year

What your 228XI takes.

Oil grade and capacity from the manufacturer's service specification. Single-visit prices are for the oil change itself, before the $20 mobile service fee and tax; full synthetic is what we recommend, and basic (conventional) is shown where the engine allows. Confirm the engine code on your emissions label if your year lists more than one. The Annual plan column is what that engine costs on the plan for a full year — oil changes included, nothing added per visit.

Annual planOil changes on the oil-life monitor (10% or 8,000 km (5,000 mi), whichever is later), rotations, seasonal swaps, tire, brake and battery inspections, air filters — all of it for one annual price per vehicle. The 2.0L 4-cyl N20B20A turbo takes 4.8 L (5.1 qt) of oil, so the plan is $259 a year — nothing extra per oil change. European makes are $60 a year more because they need European-approval oil — it's included. On top of that you pay only the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after). Prices shown are for annual payment. Monthly payments are available at checkout. Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: we go through the whole vehicle — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses and the battery — record its condition from day one and connect it to Aperio, and if an oil change or tire rotation is due we do it at that same visit. One-time onboarding — $45 per vehicle. Pay it once; that vehicle is in for life.
Questions

BMW 228XI

What oil does your BMW 228XI take?

It depends on the year and engine — the table above lists the manufacturer's grade for each. Recent 228XIs most often take 0W-20. We fill with full synthetic in the specified grade.

How much oil does your BMW 228XI hold?

4.8 L (5.1 qt) with a new filter, depending on engine. We fill to the dipstick and record the amount in your service record.

How often should I change the oil in my 228XI?

On the plan, when the 228XI's oil-life monitor reaches 10% or at 8,000 km (5,000 mi) — whichever comes later — or on BMW's published interval. If your 228XI is 2013 or newer, Aperio reads the oil-life monitor and books the visit when it's due, so you never guess.

Can you do the oil change at my home?

Yes. That's the whole idea — a licensed technician comes to your driveway, workplace or a legal street spot anywhere we serve, brings the right oil and filter for your 228XI, and sends photos of the work.

What does a BMW 228XI oil change cost?

$140.50 for a European-approval synthetic oil change on the most recent 228XI, plus the $20 mobile service fee — the table above shows the price for every year and engine. On the plan the oil change is included and you pay only that fee.

What does the Aperio plan cost for my BMW 228XI?

$259 a year. The 2.0L 4-cyl N20B20A turbo takes 4.8 L (5.1 qt) of oil, so the plan is $259 a year — nothing extra per oil change. European makes are $60 a year more because they need European-approval oil — it's included. One annual price, and nothing added per oil change. The plan covers every routine service on the schedule: oil and filter, rotations, seasonal swaps, tire, brake and battery inspections and air filters. The only other charge is the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after).
