Just had a service, 6000miles and all good, also had an MOT for the grand total of £218.....didnt think that was too bad really. Is that average?

As this new forum is young, all the information that was on the old site has been lost.
I am posting to let you know your contribution is welcomed, but I can't help you with costs in the UK.
Whatever the answer, the RSis worth it![]

That would be great if all that info could be transferred here. Losing it was disappointing/traumatic, a LOT of great info was lost!.

That's the one downside of internet forums - a huge amount of very valuable data can suddenly be...GONE if the person hosting the site decides to quit or is forced to by circumstances.. :(

I can't be too upset with the original host - it's not like he (she?) was getting paid.;) OTOH, it would be nice, if such things are going to happen, if a forum "owner" could announce beforehand that he/she is closing the forum so someone else could perhaps offer to assume the duties.

In any case, GG, good luck with a solution!

I've been quoted £385 for a 12000 mile service, a good friend of mine on this forum has been quoted significantly less for the same service. I will be having words with my servicing dealer. At this rate I'll be falling out with every BMW dealer in the country.

Well had my first annual service and they charged me £191.63 so happy with that after seeing what others are paying further south in the affluent regions!!!

I paid €240 in Germany, so more or less, it is quite the same. Oil change and brake fluids, that latest one was super necessary.

Just had my 12k service done. I can't believe they checked the valve clearances in the 1.5 hrs assigned for the service...

Did they claim to have checked them?

I’m thinking of checking mine myself in near future.

When I had my 12,000 mile service performed they included a sheet with the observed clearances, hand written, for each valve location.
