Thought BMW had a staged service system? Something like £200 oil and filters, £600 if belts are needed, £800 if brakes are needed?

Or something along those lines.

Brother in law paid 900 plus, but the belt wasn't due! They shafted him. If only he had said, it's out of warranty and I know an ex BMW service manager who has started out on his own. £60 an hour iirc, could have saved brother in law a fortune, the pillock!

My dealership is nothing like that at all, £130 for oil & filters, £200 for most fluids and a car inspection and £275 for all fluids full car inspection. That's good service if you ask me  :y So he paid £900 for an aux belt to be changed? Because all beemer engines use timing chains.

I did say "something" like that... Proud to say I am not in the least familiar with BMW's engine range re belts and chains. But yes I he was well shafted for what was done, can't remember exactly what though... :-/
