Hi guys

Feel as if my wallet is weightless at the moment. Went to Sytner Coventry today and had oil service / brake fluid changed / coolant changed / new door carrier on drivers side because door wouldn't open from outside / bushes changed and a "routine maintenance check" for £695. Sounds fair? Service recieved was top and all credit to dealership but wanted to get peoples opinions.

Car is 330ci Convert Step 03 with 16, 000 on clock. Bought the car a few days ago so still trying to get a feeling for this BMW experience!

Regards

Doesn't sound too bad to me considering main dealer rates.

Def 16, 000 and not 160, 000. Relates to BMW servicing done in the past, overall condition of the car, MOT paperwork. Who knows I may have bought a car where the geezer was so clever he made all this upm, somehow I doubt it......

It staggers me that a car with 16,000 miles has worn suspension bushings. Just goes to show what a con the premium you pay for a 'low mieage' car really is - despite its low mileage and accompanying huge price, it's got the level of wear you'd expect from a 5 year old/60k mile car.
