I do my own as I've never found a garage I trust or will fit the parts I've bought/request.
I keep the receipts in chronological order with mileage and I update the iDrive to reflect. I do oil services every 10k or year whichever is sooner, my change in September was after 8.5k with the iDrive showing a further 11k until the official interval.
It's major service items where this really mounts up. I changed the gearbox oil for less than £200 with genuine ZF kit which included a drain, fill, drain, fill and filter change procedure.
I changed the front discs and pads with EBC pads and TRW 2 piece discs for less than £300. An Indy wanted £700 and BMW were over £1,000 and none would have fitted the pads I wanted.
It's a bit of bind getting on your back every now and again but I save a fortune and know it's been done right.
