did i miss something?

I remember oil change being 19.99$ and high end cars were like 60-70$, pushing 100$.
Then came 2005, I bought a Porsche Cayenne S. Took it for oil change it was 300$.
I was like what the fack? ok, it was a porsche - so i swallowed the pill.
Then the 740il, synthetic is 150$. understandable.

Today strolling bmw dealership, i see mini section- oil change 200-250$.
I mean like what the hell??? Did price of everything 4x in the last few years???

I am in price shock with a lot of things lately....This was never the case before.
I am starting to sound like my parents. Back in the days, it was only this much bla bla bla.

If you go back to the dealer to change it yes they will con you.
They use the same stuff as outside so I always say why pay more for the same product.
oil change in HK for the E60 is about $144us for 7L of Mobil1 engine oil and oil fillter and laber.

Next time tell them to go F*&k themselves. Buy the oil and filter and have a local shop change it for you. That's what I do with my E60, it costs me $55 for the oil and filter and a local shop charges me $25 for the labor. total $80
