Hi,

anyone here from the UK that can confirm the price quoted for the 2 year brake fluid change? I called my stealer for a quote and they want ?172.50 for it...! They said it takes 40 minutes and can be done while I wait.... So if it only takes 40 minutes, there's either a hell of a lot of brake fluid in the 5 series brake system or it's filled with Channel perfume!!!

I paid approx ?185 for the 1st oil change (included two pollen filters) which I thought was a joke as the oil was listed at about ?100 but this is ridiculous for a brake fluid change surely?

My car was done last year as part of the first service and was charged at ?80 for the fluid change. I enquired
at another dealer recently becuase the front pads and discs need changing and was quoted a price of ?85 for the fluid change as a deal. Same dealer said it normally costs about ?100.
