It isn’t available on the app for our car and while it was part of Black Friday sale £600 for 2 years running, it wasn’t on the last one which meant we couldn’t order it. Very annoying.
This service for me is £415 although I have just found out they sent me a code for 20% off. So that makes it better. Next service is £750 so if I can get service inclusive now for £900 then I will as it covers the service after that too.
Or go to an Indy and save a fortune?ori said:
My 35is was serviced by my preferred Indy for the 7 years I had it and when I sold it, the dealers asked if it was fully serviced, I presented them with the service record and they said OK. They had already agreed a price by then so who it was serviced by was irrelevant.
I will get the first MOT done by the dealers, as they will put right anything that it may fail the MOT by under the warranty. It's also good to know that everything is OK when the warranty lapses. After that its back to the Indy.
So independent isn’t that much cheaper around here.
Regardless, I’ve been trying to get service inclusive from bmw dealerships. Called 3 and get passed from sales to service and vice versa and then no one calls me back.
Ended up putting a complaint in to BMW.
It’s £1000 and you can pay interest free for 10 months. Covers 5 years servicing so it’s still a good price. Wish it would have been available on Black Friday.
If I manage to sort it out though, I’ll send the contact name and number for you guys to add it if you want.

Unless you do high mileage that will only cover 2 services, though (on 2 year timed).ori said:
I was recently quoted £235 for an (out or warranty) oil service from BMW dealer, plus £70 for brake fluid on a B58 engined car.
Specialist Indy (who can update iDrive and BMW servers) are £199 and £65 respectively.
I have noticed they all like to include pollen filters, no matter what service you have. If I was the cynical type, I would say that is because a pollen filter costs them a tenner and takes about a minute to change.
Just got the service inclusive. £990 spread over 10 months.
For me it makes good financial sense. In London my first service is £415.
Next service is £750 and then you have the brake fluid change on top. So even there I’ve made a saving. If I make it to the following service then the saving really is bigger.

That's because 'M' stands for Money with BMW.pvr said:
I "have" to have 6 new plugs and a fuel filter on my B58 next week, otherwise they can't reset the iDrive service indicators apparently. That and an oil service will be £454 thank you. It's done 12,000 miles!
Never again! Absolute rip-off.
Use an Indy for less than half the price for doing the same jobPondrew said:That's because 'M' stands for Money with BMW.pvr said:
