15k 1st oilservice price...ouch!
Hi all
Just had my 15k oil service. Just oil service and microfilter fitted from main dealer, while I waited (1 hour) I expected over £100...poss £150... it cost me £380!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can this REALLY be right? The dealer said because of the amount of oil! (I'm in the UK, England) Last edited by drgenix; 06-19-2009 at 07:57 AM.. |

Doctor, I paid $169 for a 5,000 mile oil change without the microfilter replacement. The 10 liters of oil cost $100. I can't imagine the microfilter replace adds that much to the bill.
Check under the hood. Maybe they installed a supercharger. |

Probably not for a 15k service with microfilter and standard scope. Maybe that is why he paid more? I found the OEM microfilter set here for $120 : http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E90-M3-...imate_Control/ A dealer in the UK might sell it for more. So maybe $100 for oil, $17-20 for filter, and $120+ for microfilters. That is around $240 without any labor. If they billed him for a diagnostic fee (standard scope), we are looking at at least 1 hour of labor at $100+ an hour. This would be essentially the same 15K service that is provided by BMW in the free maintenence program. With that said, I could see it being a $400 service if done properly. Nobody ever said owning an ///M car was cheap

Douglas Park, Hillington near Glasgow, Scotland - named and shamed - avoid at all costs!! After writing the car off shortly after, I acquired a slightly newer (08) E92 and when I had this serviced at Harry Fairbairn (and with a 20% discount due to one of my friends working there) it only cost £250 ....
