Just Had M3 Serviced

Hoops · 05-08-2009, 08:35 AM

Just collected car from Sytner Chigwell - was having clutch and flywheel replaced FOC under warranty - and even though it wasnt due for about 1,500 miles, i decided to have the car serviced whilst it was in to save me doing it when i get back from the Ring.......... £336.10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bloody microfilter alone was over £100 - WTF!!!!!!?????? I need to go and have a little lie down!!

LMAO... I won;t tell you how much mine was then

The microfilter is different on the M3 to other coupes, it is a four part unit, so I guess this is why it costs a bit more.

At least it's all set for next weeks abuse

Mr_Patience · 05-08-2009, 08:54 AM

Pfffftttt...BMW are pure amateurs compared to Audi!!! Peace of mind servicing I say especially before The Ring!!!

PS - Are you still laid down???

Sytner Chigwell (actually Loughton) are over priced on everything. Saved at least £1000 by driving a few miles to Cooper Chelmsford when i was buying my e92 320d.

I knocked my oil and brake fluid service down from £350 to £200 at Sytners High Wycombe. Always worth asking !

Hi mate, that doesn't sound too bad really considering it's a M3.
I’m not sure on the M3 service pricing as I haven’t had my car (M3 DCT Coupe) long.
On a side note what is their service like? Are they competent with the M3? A lot of dealers don’t see many of these cars even though it been around a few years.
The reason for asking is I have my 1200serive coming up soon, so wanted my baby in the safest hands. I live in London.

Thanks

DonM3 · 05-16-2009, 01:34 PM

Take it Park Lane.

Only BMW dealership owned by BMW themselves.

Excellent service department.

Sod the rest!
