My Ride: 2005 BMW 525D M-SPORT // Grey // SB attached
She's done about 66k miles and has had the major service done at around 60k I believe.
Just wondering if I can do the service myself or it would be best to take it into the dealership ? I used to service my previous motor (VW) myself and everything was dandy.
Just needed to change oil, air/oil/pollen filters, brakes, wipers etc ... pretty straight forward.

It depends on how easy you want to be able to sell it on. Generally speaking it will be worth more second hand with a full dealer service history. If you usually trade your car in at a dealer it probably doesn't make that much difference.

Thanks Guys
Its not under warranty and i wont be trading it in , so i guess I better continue getting dealer service on this.
Right, now how do I know what kind of service is due and how much I would be looking to pay (without calling the dealership, as they can literally say anything and I wont be any wiser as to if they are telling the truth or not.)
Thanks again
