Why the difference ?

[Gazza]

Online price for oil service @ Sytner is £285.00

Also priced the same for my Z4M Coupe, same engine capacity, £200.00

Am I paying CSL Tax ?

Previously serviced at Elms Cambridge which is now Barons, should I use them ?

The CSL went into Sytner today for the oil service and airbag recall.

The guy there said it also needs a brake fluid change @ £88.00 so the total would be £416.00, really I said, he used his phone to add up the figures and then said, oh £373.00

I asked why the CSL oil service was £285 and my Z4MC was £200, he looked confused and said he didn’t know.

Three hours wait later the car was ready, price now £326.10

Health check shows front tyres need changing and a broken rear coil spring. Price to replace both rear springs and pads £564.08.
Parts £298.03
Labour £ 266.05


Thinking of MPS4S

I agree, going to get a price from Harry Fairbairn BMW for parts only, I got rear discs for £187 pair inc delivery.

Just ordered two Michelin 4s front tyres for £278.00 fitted.

Yep, disconnect lower hydraulic shock damper fixing , don’t forget to also have a jack under hub assembly before disconnecting,,then lower hub assembly , springs and pads are easily popped out,

[Gazza]

Thanks for that.

I just watched a couple of vids on YouTube :thumbs:
