Exclamation Service - Main Dealer or Specialists?

46k~ miles, oil due. But I want to do the following while I'm there:
  • oil
  • diff oil
  • gearbox oil (manual)
  • full software update

Went to main dealer and this is what I've been quoted.



Urrr what do we think?

Some things to consider:
  • car has main dealer service ever since
  • brought car from Sussex independent bmw place
  • owner from Cornwall
  • car was brought from the dealer I went in to today randomly!

Should I keep OEM service because its M or does it really matter anymore for a '57 plate car thats nearly 50k on the clock? In terms of resale value. Should I just find a good specialist, "maybe" cheaper and still get a good stamp in the book. If its a reputable place.

Thannks people.
