For an oil change.? Mine has 3K on it, bringing it to the dealer Fri, $70.-? Seems very reasonable compared to some of the other posts I've read here.

[/quote]Wow, that is great price.
make sure you ask them to use the fully synethic oil.
Price might be higher, but worth every penny.
This is so call in-between maintenance or mid-cycle maintenance,
you do hav to pay for this one.
BMW pays for the one that occurs above 10,000 miles.

I had my oil/filter changed at 3K miles, cost $113. I would expect labor to be more here in CA than other areas, but that's a very low price. The parts alone (synthetic oil & filter) were around $56 (after 10% BMWCCA discount).
Are they using synthetic oil & changing the filter element? The V8 uses 9 quarts, perhaps that's also part of the difference.

$70.00 isn't bad for an oil change with synthetic oil. You might be able to get it a bit cheaper, but it's nice have the dealer track all your maintenance. Plus they can advise you on recalls, and software updates etc.
