I cannot recommend Redish Motorsport enough, such an amazing service. He loves and knows his BMW's and I will never go anywhere else again. He was going to write up a topic with pictures and details of my Insp 1 but he is quite a busy chap, usually booked up for circa 5 weeks! It's coming though...!
He'll have a good chinwag after the work, showing and explaining what he's done, with step by step pictures. They take the greatest care of your P&J
I can understand people wanting a nice FBMWSH, but you could easily save yourself £400 here, would you get that back come sale time?
Hey, my dealer beat him with the MOT cost of £35 
Couple of points I have to consider though.
- It would be easier for me to sell my car with fullbmwsh .
- The cost of going to an independent further away would be more due to loss of income.
I am not doubting the quality of the service at all from an independent, just don't want to reduce my "car appeal" as no dealer would touch my M after a service elsewhere from my experience at least.

Yer I know, I thought £50 was steep too! All understandable and fair enough points though pvr, each to their own and I can see why you want BMW to do it. Hope you get the price down a bit though
pvr - I paid £675 at Sytner Nottingham (not renowned for their benevolence trust me!!). I've also recently paid £48 for brake fluid change at Stratstone. So all-in, I reckon you might be able to drive down your price by £100 or so potentially. Worth a go...
I paid £700 for insp 1 and brake fluid change also at Sytner Nottingham.
They said they'd price match so I phoned all the East Midlands dealerships and got the cheapest quote. I also got a loan car for nothing.
It's a bit of hassle phoning around but I reckon it saved me £50 at least.

Im in shock at this thread - i didnt realise that the Insp I was this much and didnt realise it involve the valve clearance check etc - therefore is it a 2 days job? I thought this was only only on the Insp 2.
What makes up the bulk of the additional cost at a dealers for Insp I on an ///M versus says a Insp 1 on a 3.0si - im sure that service cost me max 300 on my previous car...at a dealer!
Yes it does include the valve clearance check.
When the bill comes, I will throw my BMW membership card on the table as well so I get the other 10% off as well.
I never tell them that in advance, otherwise they will just say "oh, we took that into account". I wait for the bill to arrive, then hit them with the 10% card 8)
