F80 M3 running in service

[anonymous-user]

Picking mine up on Friday, then hoping to run it in and have the service before heading to the Spa GP at the end of August.

What sort of prices have people been paying for the running in service?

(for spec wes, it's a DCT CP in Yas Marina with black interior, HK, comfort access, Icon lights, reverse camera, sun protection and HUD)

This is turning out to be fun.

Rang these dealers at 2.30pm this afternoon;

- Cooper York
- JCT Bradford
- Stratstone Leeds
- Sandal Wakefield

Not one of them could put me through to someone who could help. Not one of them can give me a price. Stratstone would not even offer to call back unless I 'opened an account' with them.

The issue is a combination of poor staffing levels and the car being too new to be on their systems yet, without which they cannot offer a price.

For a £67k car (or indeed a £6.7k one), the service level is atrocious. Makes a mockery of my avoidance of the Alfa due to risk of poor dealers.

Are they the guys who did it for £250?

If it's not too far to go then call Lloyd Colne, I spend years being treated like dirt at JCT600 went to Lloyds and they are brilliant great service, good pricing.

Called them, they gave me a price right away (slightly more than yours by a handful of pound notes, however I didn't haggle as I haven't given them business before). Booked in for a couple of weeks time.

Great to deal with over the 'phone (PHer ex-ness notwithstanding ).

Thank you for the recommendation.

Yes, that was me. Was yours also YMB? Noticed one parked up that looked lowered compared to mine.

Also surprised myself by quite liking the X5M lurking in the showroom (all £111k of it...).

HAS?
