First Service
Just had my 2014 520d Luxury Touring first service at 15300miles. It set me back a pretty £315 for an Oil and Micro filter service. I opted out of the service package when I bought the car on the premise of I barely keep the car long enough to use it to its value.
I'm just wondering how this cost compares to other so called prestige car from Mercedes and Audi?? I had the rear scuff plate trim replaced under a recall - covered under warranty. It also transpires that I need a new oxygen sensor ( located after cat) which would explain why I've had an unusually low MPG. Covered under warranty Also require a new Throttle and throttle probe after I complained about a squeaky accelerator. Covered under warranty And finally they found nails in both OSF and NSR tyres - which thankfully are just about holding their pressure with a minimal amount of pressure loss. Hopefully they'll last a bit longer as still got 5mm of tread all round. |

BMW would have charged you something like £100/ hour + VAT for labour. The actual cost of materials is pretty low. I always buy the 'Service Pack' along with my new cars, but after the service pack or warranty expires, I have it serviced from a local garage (he is ex BMW) and I have rarely spent over £150 for service parts costs for any kind of service.
