The service manual states that the fork oil should be changed at 18,000 miles, a mileage at which I will shortly be teetering upon.

I can't see any drain plugs (which would be about right on USD forks), so I'm assuming its a forks out jobbie.

Anybody know roughly how much we're talking from a BMW dealer?

my 18k service cost £408 at Cotswold Motorrad in 2019 - this included fork oil and brake fluid change

the fork service cost £99 in labour plus VAT and the fork oil was £13.62 + VAT, total £135.14

As an aside, Williams Manchester are charging me £54 for a rear spline lube. Also not a bad price really.
