Service cost? (Brake fluid & oil)
Good morning,
I just got a notice that my 2014 428i (45,500 miles) is due for a service. The info screen says Engine Oil, Brake Fluid, and Vehicle Check are due. This is my first service outside the complementary BMW maintenance program. How much should I expect to pay from the BMW dealer? Thanks!

Many BMW dealers frequently run oil / filter change specials and coupons. In SoCal, $99 deals are quite frequent. Try visiting web sites of several local dealers to find service specials.

I'm located in the Dallas Ft. Worth area
I figured about $100 for an oil change. Wasn't sure on the brake fluid

Brake fluid flush at my indy is around $100.
Oil change at indy, different indy, and dealer generally are $145, one was $180. Note that diesel oil is a bit more expensive than gassers. |

If you are still under 50k - this service should be free, unless your time ran out?
I have a '14 also and all my service was covered up to 50k and my time wouldnt have run out until this November. |

Oil change should be no more than $70. Oil/filter/drain plug are around 50 from FCP Euro. Labor should be $20. The 4cyl engine just needs the 5 liter jug and that's it.

Before investing $145 in a brake flush invest $9 in one of these fluid testers:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The recommended brake flush interval assumes that your fluid might have been contaminated with water and that you should change it just in case. A tester can confirm if it's required or not. |

What is involved in the "vehicle check" and how much does this cost? I just remember the "inspection I, inspection II days with my E46, they charged like 500 bucks just to check a bunch of things.
