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..

?208 for me and I left it there all day as its easier for me to do so. I can't believe there is such a significant difference between dealers so as UK525i said shop around, I certainly will do for my next service.

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.
