$150 in Salt Lake City. Also quoted $486 to change the spark plugs.
I would think they would make more money charging reasonable prices but I guess there are people willing to pay those outrageous prices.

For you DIY guys: 7 bottles of Motul = $49. 1 filter kit = $12. Total cost = $61
$79.99 seems to be the cheapest @ San Diego. I'm wondering now; what oil did they put in your car and will they even swap out the filter? |

I paid $85 for first oil change at 3k miles, it's not covered. Just a old school way of doing things.

Now I change the oil myself in between the 13k intervals suggested by iDrive for my 2013 328i, and I plan to do oil changes every 6k miles or so in the future. 5 to 6 quarts of oil on sale at Costco or Advance Auto Parts plus the BMW oil filter is about $40. Initial investment in ramps, drain pans, bolt for the drain plug, and a strap wrench is like $60. So it is very cost effective to do this yourself, even if I can afford the dealer oil change. I find it an enjoyable way to spend 30 minutes on a weekend. Plus our local recycling center makes it dead easy to get rid of the old oil and filter. I have no doubt that if anything broke on our BMWs, I'll be paying a lot for repairs, but I will have to say Bimmers are designed wonderfully for oil changes. My dad and I did a recent oil change on the 328 and a Mazda5, and it was really a pain to get to the oil filter on the Mazda, which is under the engine and therefore makes a mess once you do manage to get it out. The drain plug was also hard to remove, and also at a 90 degree angle. The BMW on the other hand, has an easy to remove plastic plug and the filter on top, so everything is easy and not messy at all. |

Where do you see that? I know they offer a old oil return program for oil changes, but never heard of subsequent free oil/filter change kits and don't see anything on their site. Cant imagine they could afford such a program, but I'm in if they do!!!!

Wow, revisiting old thread. It is about $40 as local dealer has 1/2 off sale coupon via e-mail about every other month.

but this is in Sweden. Hate that I have to pay that, for something I can easily do.
Just had mine done last week.
