X5 Service Costs

[melee]

Hi
We are looking to purchase an X5 3.0d sport from our local main bmw dealership.

Please can anyone tell us the costs of inspection 1 and 2 service etc at a local main dealer. The car has around 22k miles so not sure when next service would be due or what it would be.

Cheers

Just had my first oil service at 19800 miles,£260 inc.,expecting service 1 at 38000 miles.
Yours should be similar.

Wow thats alot for just an oil service isn't it. Any idea how much the inspection 1 and 2 is?

Still trying to work out whether to get the X5 or if the running costs are too high.

Yes but did include the bi-annual brake fluid change. But BMW dealers do know how to charge because
a vehicle like this has to have a full BMW service history when it's time to sell.

Oh right so that made it cost alot more did it.

I will have to ring up tomorrow and enquire about inspection 1 and inspection 2 service costs. I'm afraid inspection 2 will be fortunes

Doesn't sound like any more than a 3 series or any other BMW though...Same amount of oil as 3 but maybe more brake fluid? Same labour surely.

Do they maybe not need diff oil changes or anything else that makes it more exoensive than say a 5 series to run?

Virtually the same as a 3 series. If the x5 is over 3yrs old just take it to an indepedent bmw specialist - better service, same parts but cheaper
