I got a quote the other week for an inspection 1 for an ///M which was around £800 iirc before any negotiation

I paid £200 at a main dealer for an Inspection 1 on my 3.0si roadster last May, though I supplied my own oil (8l was £50 and saved £120 off the service price!). They were happy to price match another main dealer and fit a couple of non-runflat tyres for me too.
