My 2020 Z4 has about 16500 miles on it. Last "included" oil change was at 12000 miles. My car has started notifying me its due an oil change in 6k or this month. This will be the first service for which I'll have to pay.
Especially for USA residents, has everyone taken their car to the dealer for an oil change? What was the cost? If you took your car elsewhere, like Jiffy Lube and similar places, did they reset that service reminder? What was their charge. I called a place that specializes in BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Rolls, etc and they quoted "just under $200". That seems nuts to me!
Thanks.

Oil Change after included service
Just had my chargeable 16,000 mile/2 year oil change done by selling main dealer - no change out of GBP400/US$500! Also included was the cabin microfilter but the most expensive component was the oil at GBP160/US$200. Had to use main dealer so as not to compromise remaining manufacturer's warranty.

Not sure how long you are intending to keep your car but the 5 Year BMW Service Inclusive Package is £911 which seems pretty good value to me when you break down the individual cost of each service.PeterE wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 3:25 pm Just had my chargeable 16,000 mile/2 year oil change done by selling main dealer - no change out of GBP400/US$500!

Yeah, I saw that the cost had gone up a lot. For me the jury's out on whether or not I keep the car when my three year PCP is paid off next February and the car will be three years old. Realistically, as I hit the 3/4 century this year, I won't be in the running for a new Z4 so it's hand back, purchase or purchase/sell on, depends on the real value v/s baloon payment.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:20 pm Not sure how long you are intending to keep your car but the 5 Year BMW Service Inclusive Package is £911 which seems pretty good value to me when you break down the individual cost of each service.

As I just paid for the oil change and the only items due before the three years are up are a brake fluid change next January and MoT on the three year anniversary; coughing up over a Grand to take me to five years doesn't make economic sense which to be fair was what the selling Dealer advised when I picked up the car.

So nobody in the USA has a Z4?
I got a flyer for a "Bimmer Doctor" place near me running a special oil change for $90, but it excludes "M" cars, which mine is. Not sure what's different on an M car, but apparently enough for them to limit the price.
Any reason why the Z4M would cost more? At one time I changed my own oil, etc, but those days are behind me....a lot. I'm 77 years old now and crawling on the ground is an indication of a medical emergency, not the sight of a DIYer.
