The whole point is you give him and other local shops a chance to compete for our business before going elsewhere

That said, below are online prices to help us consumers leverage our bargaining powers.


here is the OEM micro filter from turner for $40AUD (of course shipping will cost more)

here the Air filter is $44 and the oil Filer $25

Or you can get an E92 M3 oil change kit (9ltrs oil plus oil filter) for $140 US

Even if you paid $100 shipping thats still $240 for 9 litres of oil plus filter.
Rossi, thank you very much for this info. I can't believe it's possible to get the oil change for only $250.

If I lived in Melb, I'd be in on this too.
