BMW i3 Service costs

[jwrigglesworth]

Hi
Forgive me for being a tight B****** but BMW Wakefield just quoted me £260 for a first service on an i3. It doesn't even have an engine, the girl told me it included oil, pollen filter & brake fluid change. It's done 8300 miles, does it need these things doing or are they just trying it on?

Ask how many litres of oil it takes..

I can imagine the motor has oil but no idea what service interval

Cooper BMW Reading quoted me £560 for the first service on my i3 Range Extender. I bought the car new for my business and it has covered only 7500 miles in 24 months.
The price included:
Brake Fluid change
Visual Inspection/Scoping
Software update
Pollen Filter change
Oil change - I was told the the engine takes only 2.5 litres of oil.

They also changed the defective rear edrive badge.

Re the ops question. It probably does need the listed service items, brake fluid interval on BMWs is three years initially followed by every 2 years.
If you can do it yourself I'm sure the pollen filter will be easy to change.
