They may honour it as part of their 'value servicing' on older cars (supposedly 40% off on cars of our age)...but my experience is that you'll get a call before/during the service to tell you there's been an error and it's actually double that amount.
Used to happen a lot on my e34 M5 and the Z4MC before I took them out of the dealer network.
I'm not sure how much better they are now, as I've tried 3 different, local dealers to get my F31 in for some warranty investigation work...but everyone has called about a day before to say they can't do investigations on Thur/Fri/Sat as if they need parts they might not be able to get them in time to get the car back before the weekend...and they'd rather leave the car stripped down in the garage than put it all back together again for me to drive home and then back for them to do it all again when they have the part.
However, the last time they tried that, it was going to be at least 6 weeks before they were likely to get the part from BMW, so I got an indy to fit a good 2nd hand part instead.

Don't worry, I've have had that argument/shouting match in the past - and I walked out having paid only £100 of the £1200 bill (as I had to hire a car, take days off, etc.) due to their incompetence.
That's why I only use a dealer when the part is cheaper than aftermarket sellers, or it's a warranty/recall visit.

At £665 for a full set of discs and pads on a Z4M…what do you reckon….
I bought new genuine discs on ebay from Vertu Motors with an eBay voucher one weekend for £371 the pair…I didn’t need them, but when I seen the price it was too good to ignore!! Keep an eye open…
Another tip with Autodoc is to place an item in your basket and leave it there…typically they’ll come to you in a few days and offer a discount.
