BMW M2 comp servicing costs

[Jamesgt]

I’m just at BMW getting a brake fluid change on my M2 comp. £120 so not awful but still overpriced. While I’m here I’ve just had a quote for the major service and inspection. £13xx. Seems a bit much to me. Has anyone had better prices from their dealers? I’m in South Wales.

[Pupp]

The brake fluid service is a piss take. 15 quid to dispose of what is charged at 12 to fill…

I’m getting to really like the car. I really don’t like the BMW business model…

major service on these at BMW is huge, think I got quoted 1200 odd

A very good local Indy quoted about 650 for major service, thats where I will be going for mine. Be mad to pay ££££ for a service on one of these through BMW

Those prices seem steep. My 2017 X5M (not the same car I realize) is a lot less. I had the major oil service last year and that was less then £800 - for 8 spark plugs too!

You make it sound like a bargain

There must be atleat £650 Labour charge there, can't book more than an hour either, we'll it might book more but won't take anymore time.

Just checked again and major service m2 comp at sytner sunningdale is £898

If you play around with the BMW online service tool it looks like older M2C vehicles (2018, 2019) are quoted as follows:

Oil service and microfiltr £213
Oil service with microfilter, air filter and plugs £825

On newer cars (circa 2020) they are quoting:

Oil service and microfiltr £318
Oil service with microfilter, air filter and plugs £1176

AFAIK the cars are essentially the same (as opposed to the original M2).

Certainly a point of discussion with your dealer that may help you to get a discount.

Online BMW value servicing for cars over 3 years.

Ha ha true, but my point was how expensive the 'baby M' was to service versus a V8 M with probably a few litres more oil and a couple more spark plugs!

Good point and you're probably right which was why I put my MY as 2017 although it didn't mention any value pricing when I searched for prices but I suspect a brand new one would cost more to service.

I had the major service and vehicle check done yesterday on my F82 at the supplying dealer, it was £930 all told.

Same engine as the M2c, so I'd expect something similar price wise.

I don't think they call it value anymore but the pricing does go down after 3 years (I think).

A minor for my OG M2 is £213 which is ridiculously cheap for BMW. It needs new diff oil at 6 years too but even that is only £50.

I just can't understand why the M2C servicing is more for a minor even after 3 years. Not to mention the massive delta on a major. I think 2 of the plugs are even more difficult to get to but still...

Minor for a 2020 comp at jct 600 is £281 and that includes a pollen filter, mines booked in on Friday.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It’s now clear after getting a quote on a 68 plate car that’s there is quite a markup for having a car under 3 years old. I’ll ask BMW to match and older m2 comp. If my car was a keeper I’d take it to an Indy but as I may sell it next year I’ll keep the full service history running.
