Man...$65 at the dealer?
In Taipei, I pay $187 USD...and that is with 20% off! Damn! Here, BMW is very clear....don't change your oil with them at the recommended interval (10000km), you don't have a warranty. Period. And they have done it...and customers went to the local press and complained...and BMW just read out the warranty conditions and that was that. No warranty. Highway robbery on an oil change....but I knew that going in so it doesn't bother me. (Oh, this will fit in with the other thread ranting about people like me who say things like this!) But really, what are you going to do if BMW sets this as a condition of warranty coverage? |

If I got these coupons every month, I don't think I would ever change my own oil.

If no codes are being thrown use Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner (concentrate). It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger

We don't know what SA said and we don't know what the OP said, verbatim. It is all paraphrased anyway. SA is correct. Like somebody said, for 99% of the customer what he said holds true. To dwell on it and explain details would just confuse your average 44 year old trophy wife with her X5. Not all BMW owners spend time on BMW forums. |
