There was a sales this summer, $5.50 with tax each from local BMW parts desk in NorCal.

The lowest price was $3.50 with tax at another BMW dealer, made in France Mahle engine air filter with BMW logo.

$95for 4-cylinder including tax is not bad, esp. since BMW gives $25 rebate, so net cost is $70 and an hour at dealer checking out new cars.

The best for 5L of BMW 0W30 plus oil filter is probably $60-ish, either online or at dealer, so the cost savings DIY is not much.

And BMW 0W30 is great, the engine is quieter and smoother than with BMW 5W30!!!

$70 is a good price, but I'm the type of guy that does not trust people doing jobs I can easily do. And without a dipstick they could not even do the change and how would you know. And every time a car goes in the shop there is the risk of other stuff (scratches, etc) getting damaged.

When my car was under warranty with maintenance I had them change the oil a couple times because they break it they fix it--and one time they did have to fix a tear in the interior.

You'd know if they did an oil change by pulling the oil filter to see the oil condition. That's not an option with the average car that uses a canister filter, but it's simple with BMW. On that subject, two cars ago I had a Mercury Cougar that so successfully hid the oil filter it took me an hour to find it the first time I changed it. My next, an Altima, teased me, because I could see the filter but I couldn't reach it without pulling a wheel and then loosening the wheel well shield. The BMW filter is so fast and simple to change that I change my filter twice a year, even though I only change the oil yearly.
As for dealer oil change service, mine did scratch my fender near the hood. It looked like the mechanic leaned over it wearing a belt buckle with barbed wire trim. The last maintenance agreement oil change I had them do is the last time anyone will change my oil other than me. It also ensures that it gets MolyGen plus Ceratec, which within 500 miles of putting in gave me 2MPG more than I had been getting with BMW oil.

Yes dealer/indies breaking thing is a risk.

The dealer prices were not bad, e.g. brake flush + coolant flush + oil change for $395(tax included), then $25 rebate for oil change, and $50 rebate for non-oil, for $320 total.

It is true DIY can save, say, $220 of labor, but paying $220 did save 3-4 hours of work, right?

The time I spend working on my car is a labor of love. As the old saying goes, find a job you enjoy doing and you'll never work a day in your life. The last time I 'worked' was when I was still in high school.
