My Ride: '05 525i

Hi there,

Is there an official / semi official list on how much one or another operation should last/cost at official bmw dealer? For example replacement of brake pads, oil change and similar.

Many thanks,
Mooney

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

I think prices vary by region.

true. I was actually looking for a duration of standard operations. over the phone dealer informed me that replacement of a rubber hose would cost me 100 eur (belgium) but when I came to pay it was 265 EUR ... Hose part's no 11537544638.

Unfortunately I do not have much to choose from when it comes to servicing my car. Word 'service' is not really understood here in Belgium ...
