Free maintenance question

Good day to all!
I am currently fighting with BMW to get my oil change done. My warranty is ending on April 28th and the oil change is due on May 9th they refuse to do it right now as the car is a low miles and it hasn't been 1 year so far. Should I just accept it or fight it with BMW Canada. It is a 200$ thing not that bad but I would prefer them to pay than me.

BMW Canada is no help. I tried calling them once. They told me "The dealer can do/charge whatever they want".

Save yourself the hassle with the stealership and change the oil yourself.

+ eleventy brazzilion.

My car is showing due for it's second service.

Called the dealer for my free oil change. Told me next available appointment is in three weeks, and then I have to rent a car (no loaners).

Just easier to do it myself, and I know it will actually be done correctly.

And they won't scratch the shit out of the paint giving me a "free carwash" a.k.a., free grit rub.

With some argument they did accept to change engine oil, spark plug, transmission oil and differential oil on their own. I'm happy about the ending.
