Well just had my winter check! car is in prestine working order! :thumbs:
1. Needs Brake Fluid change. so i have to get AP Brake Fluid.
2. Needs Aircon belt BMW found a small crack in the Belt only 20Euros for the belt :notworthy:
So brake fluid change and belt done 200Euros all in including vat so was very happy with that! :thumbs:
Just booked the car into Cotswold here are the prices quoted.
Inspection11 - £1100 Dick Lovett Bristol
Inspection11 - £975 Sytners (Rydale) Newport
Inspection11 - £800 Cotswold - Just put their prices up form £650 because of the cost of parts, but are doing it for £750 for me. If you don't ask you don't get.
Apparently Cotswold specialise in 'M' cars and seem able to undercut other dealers. BMW do offer 10% discount to all cars over 4 years old - except 'M' cars...
In the end i went to Westerly Yeovil (most convenient) and saved £100 as i didn't require a new air filter and i also insisted that i was given the 10% discount! Total cost £830. :whistle:
It certainly pays to shop around and some dealers appear to apply the 10% discount when others don't - unless you ask. I just wish that i live near Cotswold BMW!
