Just been quoted £565 by Lookers for the first service on the sport, must admit it seems a lot of money for an oil change, even with oil at their prices. It looks like it will be going to an indipentant if I can't find a cheaper main dealer. 12MY RRS Orkney Grey HSE Lux

No BC I am waiting for Chelmsford to get back to me because, and I find this a bit strange, they could not give me a quote as their computer was down! 12MY RRS Orkney Grey HSE Lux

Let me know how you get on.
I need to do the same exercise in a few weeks. I was hoping around the £400 mark, but that seems unrealistic by the looks of it ,......£565 is outrageous  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Have you emailed davidkingsnorth@lookers.co.uk at LPR to see what he can do?

Not sure if EF has, but funnily enough James, that's on my list to do this afternoon  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I asked the question about changing the oil once I'd run in my S/C. Lookers Battersea told me there was no need but said that if I wanted to go ahead with it then it would be £380 and it was only that high because they would have to change the oil filter as well. I'm not sure how much difference there would be between a diesel and petrol oil change but £185 seems a bit much to me.

As much as I like dealing with LPR James, I am really pleased with the FF by the way, it's just a little too far to go for a service, but saying that I will email to see it might be worth the trip  12MY RRS Orkney Grey HSE Lux

Have a blast down the A12.......... drop the car in, off into town for some retail therapy or a show, collect the car and back home for tea time!

All for only £300, can't say fairer than that

That's a very generous offer James, I might take you up on that  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

To be fair James, it did take him nearly 4 minutes to reply to my email. I'm putting together an 'Another Big Moan.....' thread as I type  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
