Probably not ... you may be getting serviced in a special way!

I was referencing this as an example of the regular price at one of my area BMW dealers and that service specials are offered regularly.
I suggest you search area BMW dealer on-line service specials. Unless you have a cooling system problem I'm confident you have a couple of months during which you will find numerous winter prep specials.

Isn't your '06 covered under warranty? You shouldn't be paying a dime if there is as problem with your cooling system.

It is covered under warranty, but I'm talking about a coolant change (regular, basic, maintenance), not addressing a problem with the system.
I am one of those owners who have not bought into bmw's hype about lifetime fluids, and therefore, I want these fluids changed WELL before bmw's recommended service intervals.
