Prices in here look good - https://www.bmw-service.co.uk

I'm £254 for major service, brake fluid £62, vehicle check £67 and £199 and £169 for pads. £751 for a 335i and £980 for a 320d? The chances of needing all work done on one visit is pretty slim. I would still avoid brakes at these prices, but the actual service costs are good considering the car and what others charge. |

There's no way your 320d comes out at that as my 330d doesn't. In fact the brake fluid on my car comes out at £45 so quite a bit cheaper that what the 335i cars are being quoted.

Wow, thanks for posting this - I have a service due very soon so this will hopefully save me some dosh!
Brake fluid change at bmw-service.co.uk = £45 Brake fluid change on local Sytner website = £105.31 !! Is it possible to book an MOT at the same time or can you just arrange that when they confirm the booking? |

Jesus, that's mega! I'll stick with my 330d then, it's a bit cheaper to run!

Just checked mine, and the oil service including microfilter, fuel filter and air filter change was £301 The brake fluid service was £45 Veichle check £50 Actually pleased with those prices, last time i rang up for a quote on the brake fluid service it was £140 Anyone know if the k&n panel filter actually does anything? Debating when it goes in to have the air filter changed or not? It came on the car by the way |

Brake fluid on my 330d is £45 - very good value- however Oil Service with Microfilter, Air Filter and diesel fuel filter is a whopping £527.

Pre-LCI?
I assume so. The air filter on the 231PS engine is a pig of a job. So much so that they moved it on the 245PS. 5 minutes instead of two hours labour! If you can work a socket set, you're much better off doing it yourself. It'll still take ages, but you won't need to remortgage your home! |

Yes it is Pre LCI and I do change the air filter myself. Its not too bad when you've done it a couple of times or fit the job around something else.

I used the link above to get a price for my vehicle check service and was quoted £67 + £16.**p for the standard scope, entered my details and was called back by my selected dealer who proceeded to tell me I needed to get my key checked as the car could be due any service. So I called the same dealer today and had no trouble booking the vehicle check required but I forgot to ask about the price, called them back and was quoted £133 for the vehicle check service, mentioned the price quoted on the bmw website on which they come up as a participating dealer and was told to bring the prices I was quoted from the website and they will honour them, so I've photo shot the deal offered, will that be satisfactory to get the website price??

I still think main dealer prices are extreme (after working for a vw dealer)
charge god knows what an hour labour and pass on £9 to the technician (if they are lucky) the price for the brakes makes me cringe. get some pads yourself OEM or uprated and fit yourself. its a very simple DIY job and maybe dealers will lower their prices when they get less work as people resort to DIY |

Same with the brake pad warning sensors
Just short them out when replacing pads. The sensors are just for people that have no idea about cars |
