Any idea how much an inspection 2 servicing will cost in a BMW garage? It's due in 700 mile, and just wondered how much i'll have to save up.
2.5 2003 59k

Inspection II Costs
- Thread starter timothy954
- Start date
Worth shopping around as several dealers are now offering age related service discounts. Chandlers (in the south, Brighton, Worthing, Hailsham) quote 20% discount on labour for vehicles over 4 years old and 30% over 6 years - certainly a bargaining/negotiating point for you local dealer. Not sure where you live but the Indies are much cheaper than regular BMW and in my opinion many are just as good if not better. Indies need repeat customers to survive (BMW dealers do but perhaps the economic pressure is not as great) so are competitive in pricing.
found this this morning whilslt looking for something else

HI, I would shop around as I think this is one area were Stealers can compete with each other unlike the price of BMW parts.

Eh maybe I am missing something but they are just an independent garage same as thousands out there. Why in gods name were they on Dragons Den? Just a glorified indy to be honest from what I can see. Your warranty is protected wherever you go as long as you use genuine BMW parts.
Just booked mine in for inspection 2 at Sytner Nottingham (no brake fluid change needed) and the cost was:
£399 inc VAT.
However, that does include:
All parts and labour for the inspection
FULL valet including leather treatment, clay, wax and softtop impregnation
1l of topup oil (if required)
New shape Z4 for the day as a coutesy car
Pick up and drop off at my house out of normal hours (8:30am pickup, 6pm drop-off)
Aircon refil
Softtop drain clearance and inspection
To be honest, I'm chuffing amazed with that price.
Also, the woman I spoke to (Debra) was really good and gave me a printout of the original options purchased for the car, as well as doublechecking all recall jobs had been performed on it.
She also looked up all the service history for the car on the BMW system and listed anything it had wrong that needed fixing etc that may have been missing from my service history.
Basically, was there talking to her for about 40 minutes, as she actually knew the previous car owner and I came away with a bucket load of extra paperwork for the car and a really good feeling about the dealership.
Just need the service to get done and if it's as good as the service so far, they'll be getting a good review posted on this site

i got my inspection II done at an indy in east yorkshire. Including the antifreeze & brake fluid additional service it came to £380.00.
This included a 3 series hire car, and one of the guys there re-programmed my spare key for free. Cant fault them.
