Guys,

any ideas how much an oil service for a 2004 2.5 Z4 should be? I've just been told £231, does that sound right?
 
I paid £199 for inspec1 from main dealer end of dec so your price seems high.

Shop around, price match and if going to main dealer remind them car is over 4 years old
 
did call round, interestingly enough that's the cheapest round here :headbang:

the service guy said about a bit of discount as the car is over 4 years old, seems I have no other option :x

£216 was the lowest i could find from a stealer, or 150 from a indi.

So I did it myself, took 20 mins. cost £65

understand fully but now you don't have full service history! it doesn't matter to some people :wink:
 
Navid, I had mine done at a main dealer (Broad Oak, Ashford) for £180, I also have a full service history that I wanted to maintain. That was with me providing my own oil (bought 2x 4l 5w30 Castrol Edge at Asda for £30 a pop, rather than £100 for 6.5l of the same from the main dealer - still have 1.5l for top ups later on) and a brake fluid change, as well as a new (cabin?) filter.

Ask them if they'd price match, I remember someone getting a dealer to match against local independents apparently. Worst they can do is say no...

Hope this helps
 
Dev,

thanks for the useful info :thumbsup: unfortunately, there isn't an indy as far as I know or see round here :headbang:

is that £180 for oil service and brake fluid change and filter?
 
I've been calling a few dealers today also, as my car is also due an oil service... the cheapest i have been quoted from BMW is €340, which is £298... and on top of that, i am just about to pay €1100 annual road tax... oh and did i mention how bad our weather is... :roll:

Yup - Oil Service with cabin microfilter, and brake fluid change for £180. I supplied my own oil, which cost me a further £60.

TBH I still think it's a bit steep, but these are main dealer prices so it's just a case of taking the hit. At least it was while-you-wait and I had free biscuits and wifi! (and the staff were very nice, couldn't fault them at all)
 
a bit further to travel but got £198! will have to call the local dealer to see if they price match! hate calling round :rofl:
 
Just had an oil service and brake fluid change done on a 2004 2.5 and it cost me £124 all in at my local Indy. (ETA Motorsport).

Couldn't complain at that!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

you lucky people with your indy garages :headbang:

does anybody have any feedback about this indy? http://warnemotorsbury.co.uk/

they are an hour and half away from me but quoted me £145 for the same job.

how does this affect the service history? thoughts appreciated.

On a 2004, I don't think (m)any will be put off by a specialist service stamp, I certainly wouldn't. I would definitely walk away from a Z4 that had been self serviced or taken to Motosave type places though!
 
so nobody has ever used this garage in question? why nobody who has a Z4 and lives in this area, join the forum :roll:
 
no price match from the local dealer and didn't really like the idea that other dealer is charging less :x

I might just take it to a local garage, as mentioned before it is 7 years old car, the main point is it being serviced, by whom seems to be irrelevant.
