From what I know (and that isn't much) M cars need an Oil service every 12 months, regardless of mileage. IMHO 3 year service gap is far too big on an M car. I wouldn't do that to my BMW Dieseasal Great idea to go for the Comprehensive Inspection 2 Service now, which will include most fluid change. I'm not sure if the coolant is included but I would ask to have it change as well.

Ok the saga continues,

The local dealer said that they can do pre warranty inspection costing £200. I would ten be able to take out a fully comprehensive BMW extended warranty.

I have never heard of this sounds like a load of balls to me.

If you were buying the car without the warranty what would you expect to pay?

It's a real strange one this, as without a warranty you'd simply pay a grand or so less... but it's advertising it with warranty that gets people to look.
This one is strange because you shouldn't be able to get warranty. So all the hoops your jumping through now, the next owner will. It's like buying a car with outstanding finance. Might be OK but the buyer might move on to the next, easier one.
