BMW which service?

[aidso]

I have a set of warning messages in the iDrive that I need to service, but they dont match the email I got from the dealer.

Car says
Engine oil
Brake fluid
Vehicle check


Email says
Engine oil
Air filter
Micro filter
Spark plugs
Brake fluid
Vehicle check

Car is 4 years old and 30k miles. Is the latter considered a Major Service? The dealer has a website and is allowing me to tick various options, I just don't want to click too many.
£549 if I tick the dealer options too. Is that expensive?

Car: 2022 M135i F40

It could be the normal BMW dealer 'upsell', or it could be that they've read the car's requirements and seen that some of those items are coming up shortly as well and so are offering to do them at the same time to reduce number of visits.

I'd call them and ask if you can't see the schedule for those items on the iDrive (mine lets me see some future requirements months ahead, as well as those that are due imminently).

If you're tight on cash then take it to an independent and save about 50% of the labour portion of the servicing. They'll usually do as good a job, use the same genuine/OEM parts (make sure you check) and you won't be paying the franchise premium.

That sounds like the major oil service which the I drive wont differentiate- pop into a dealer and get the key read to be clear but agree re an Indy at that age unless car is under extended warranty.

My warranty has expired.
When I click the iDrive it tells me the last history and it's all from the main dealer. If I go to an independent who has the genuine parts and the BMW software and someone sees their name rather than the dealer, would it affect the resale value of the car?
