They said there was no difference between oil change and oil service.
What is going on here?

Center BMW? Not important, anyway, the oil on the website is:
Item Synthetic Motor Oil-5W-30 Part number: 07 51 0 017 866
High-performance engine oils meet or exceed SAE and CLMC specifications to help keep your engine running smoothly and cleanly. 1 qt. bottle.
Item details
2011 5 Series 550i Sedan $6.25
The filter is about 10-15 bucks. What's going on is that they are trying to nickel and dime a brother to death. They figure you're probably some rich schmuck that has more money than time. Take the BMW badge off the car and it like any other car. Steel, plastic and rubber. Why does the dealer for my other car charge $80, when they both take synthetic oil and both have cartridge type filters?
