£568.25 for engine oil and filter service?

Crassus · 09-13-2015, 07:21 AM

Hello
My 320d is scheduled for service in a few weeks and this week I visited the main dealer to have my key read. The service desk gave me a print out stating that the following is due:

Standard scope
Engine oil
Vehicle check
Fuel filter(Combined with engine oil)
Air filter(Combined with engine oil)
Microfilter(Combined with engine oil)

The total bill for this? £568.25? Does this seem right? I know my car isn't a Toyota Corolla, but surely such a basic service on a four cylinder car shouldn't be this expensive.

On BMW's website engine oil and filter service is itemised at £350. What do you recommend I do? Can I haggle?

In case you are wondering this is an BMW Approved Car and this is the first service. Can I buy a service package, if so, is it worth it?

Thanks for your help.

way too much for a normal service routine, this isn't a 458Ferrari.

How much do you pay for your engine oil service?

It is the vehicle check that is expensive. Every second oil service or so.

Its free maintenance from bmw, but 7litres of oil is like 60£ maybe ? Changing it shouldnt cost much more

A little late replying to this, but you might want to shop around for prices from different dealerships.
There is always room for movement on price, you'll find. They're relying on company car drivers/lease owners just authorising everything.
