520d first service quotation
Hi all,
Just been quoted £322 for the first service on my 520d ! Is this the going rate ? The car only has 12,000 miles on it and as far as I could make out, they only said it needs an oil and pollen filter change. Just seems very expensive. I remember only paying £170 for my 320i a couple of years ago. Any comments appreciated. |

I can't believe anyone doesn't buy the 5 year service pack from new which is only £450. It does seem expensive I can only suggest taking your own oil.

Also for those without the plan, what are the thoughts on using a non official BMW dealer as I understand the law now specifies that it doesn't have to be a BMW dealer for the servicing to keep the warranty? - After all changing the oil and a couple of filters is not that difficult! |

Fair enough about the mileage. I do a lot of city driving so although my indicator suggested 20,000 miles when I drove it off the forecourt, that soon dropped down to 13,000. I only do about 8000 per year so I'd probably get three services in the five years.
Yes, European Block Exemption means you can have it serviced at an independent without affecting the manufacturer's warranty.
