Service & Valuation thoughts?
Hi All, a couple questions,
Firstly, i have recently renewed ins with Classicline which gives me the guaranteed value, i just need to get an accurate valuation. Has anyone else done this recently & where pls? My Cesil : 1st reg 11/08/04 72,700 Miles, FSH, all BMW apart from one in 2013 8 Owners Black 1M Wheels Agency Power rear exhaust box KSport big brake kit with EBC Bluestuff pads Porsche/Brembo rear 4 pot caliper conversion Alloy rear strut brace Carbon SMG paddles Power flex rear subframe bushes and outer TCAs Rear PDC Xenons AC/Climate Comfort windscreen Build plaque Secondly, wanted to know thoughts on what service to get carried out, history as follows: Service history. PDi 11-8-04 Running in service 11-10-04,1520 miles BMW Oil service 11-1-06,11576 miles BMW Inspection 1 26-3-07,22731 miles BMW Oil service 29-4-08,33778 miles BMW Inspection 2 1-4-09,47473 miles BMW Oil service 13-4-11,61142 miles BMW Oil change 6-10-12,66822 miles BMW Inspection 2 13-4-13, 68568 miles SCC PERFORMANCE. (st Albans) Currant mileage, 72,700, car will be garaged over winter, where & when would you get serviced (main dealer or specialist)?, now or in the spring? & what service would you have done baring in mind the last Insp 2 was non main dealer? My local Stealer didn't fill me with confidence when i popped in to ask about servicing costs & i was quite shocked to hear an Insp 2 comes in at £1250 !! By the way, absolutely loving the car, will be at Silverstone for the touring cars this weekend with it. Thanks in advance. |

Personally I would service at BMW, but a decent one. I have used Elms and they know their stuff.
No expert, but recently been in the market. I would say value of around £35,000 for insurance purposes, bit less come actual sale. |

£1250 sounds a bit rich for an inspection 2. I believe many main dealers offer lower rates on older cars. My CSL had an inspection 2 at Lloyds of Carlisle (original supplying dealer) for £800 IIRC this included VAT.

IIRC Inspection 2 is £799 all in @ Elms, 'CSL' recommended (BMW UK) Dealer... even less if you bring your own engine oil
