My car is due for the 12000 miles oil change and i wondering how much your dealer charged you? Also how long did it take?
12000 miles seems low. My vehicle did not indicate an oil change until almost 18,000 miles.

Around ?150 I recall. I would advise you call a few local dealers if you have any others nearby, as the prices vary a lot. I saved ?50 by going to dealer 10 miles further than my nearest. They picked the car up from my office & returned it when completed at no extra charge. I was surprised that BMW dealers charge differently, but they do..

My Ride: F11 520d white, auto, professional sat-nav with internet, variable damper control, sports steering wheel, extended lighting, retractable tow bar, wing mirrors with dimming & folding, full electric seats with memory & lumber adjustment, etc.
Service included has got to be the way to go on future UK purchases. I got this option and looking at these charges Im glad I did.
