All done Not sure if he will service though. He seems to be only servicing very long-term customers, but just say i sent you and should be great. I'm sure he'd love to see a 335. He is really passionate about his work and has been around cars for years, having built his own track V8s for a very very long time. Last time I was in (before this week's service), he had a shell VL Commodore he was converting to a full trackie. It was just WOW. |

Ab-sol-utely full of sarcasm. The rest of the civilised world laughs at the stupid money we pay here. Why do we, mostly silently, "lie down" and accept it? As much as I like my 135 I'd probably prefer the M3 or 911 I may be able to afford for similar money in the US.

Just to share what I have been quoted by dealers: My CBS indicated I need to replace/service 3 things: Brake fluid Engine oil/filter Air filter. I have been quoted by Bundoora BMW $700. I have been quoted by Doncaster BMW Approx $600 (approximately as they don't give me a precice quote, he says bring the car in and we will see). I have been quoted by Southbank BMW $495. It is self explanatory where I am taking my car to.

First service on my car was @ 10,000Km, when the service light came on.
I think it was relative to the fact that it was 12 months old rather than the milage though and as I told them I had already done an oil change @ 7,500 myself, so no oil change was required. Everything else normal to a service light on checked for total of $150.

On a side note, i never knew that CBS shows the time for replacement of the air filter. Mine certainly doesn't show it. I remember reading somewhere on E90post that US cars show things like spark plugs as well? |

I've found checking what parts are needed in advance and supplying those to BMW tends to work well + you still get the BMW service stamp in your book.
Most parts (filters, plugs etc) you can get from the UK for a fraction of what it costs here, for instance the microfilter is about $150 from BMW Aus vs 14 GBP from the UK, spark plugs 5.48 GBP, oil filters 7.00 + freight. As long as you plan ahead it's pretty easy.

I have my second service (60,000km) in September. Very scared about what it's going to cost at the dealer here in Belgium. They quoted me 1200€ for new tyres so I got them somewhere else for 700€. Maybe I should ask around for service quotes...

They have not complained yet, just ensure your SA is informed and leave then on the passenger seat.

Whilst I haven't tried it with a BMW dealer, i nearly always buy the parts my Alfa needs before the service and let them know when i drop it off. As long as the parts are genuine, they don't mind at all and still warranty both the parts and their labour They will still fit non genuine parts however no warranty on them obviously.
It works out a shitload cheaper to buy the parts before hand |

Yep - best way to do it. My mechanic got some for me, but will supply with mine from now on as well. I just feel more comfortable having a stash of oil for safekeeping (on top of the litre i keep in the boot).

Has anyone tried Peak Performance in Sydney Parramatta? He has been servicing BMWs for years... He has quoted me 360 for oil change service at 25000 (the service light has come up and he said thats the only thing that needs to be done given the age of my car -8 months old)
