Is it an inspection or just an oil change + brake fluid?

If the latter, I'm aim at oil change price + 70 from a dealer. Not sure what a cheap dealer oil change + micro filter is these days - 160?

That said the inspections don't include much you get for free any way (check pads etc). Dealers often do these checks for free as they are so quick and they can led to more work.

Regarding the service history I wouldn't be surprised if they took you at your word for the purposes of a quick valuation but would check its authenticity come deal time. Also, when I went to VW when I was hunting around for my next car they had a print off of my last cars VW history to hand off their own system.

Would have thought BMW were the same?

Independent or reputable chain to OE requirements, maybe

DIY to save a few quid on a two year old car, I wouldn't

Remember most will let you supply your own oil. I was quoted £309 for the same as you but paid £190 and supplied my own oil.
