BMW service, absolutely outrageous – my car (530d) came out of motor plan in Jan, I had an oil service at Alberante in Feb cost me R9000 which stung a bit but I swallowed it. Next thing is to change the microfilters (2) , they also wanted to change the engine oil – quoted me R6000, I said no so they charged me R1700. The oil didn’t need changing according to the OBC but it is “recommended” according to the dealer – what a load of rubbish and whoever heard of oil change costing R4300???

:argh:

Having got that off my chest…. does anybody know of a decent mechanic in the South somewhere who can do the business without gouging me?

oh, forgot about the window controls on the X5. Around the corner and under the handle.

Bmw techs and dealers... useless.

635CSi : The lack of storage space for wallet, cellphone, keys, drinks, GPS, CD boxes or CD wallet holder. Only so much can go in the glove box :nonono:

Most of those things were not even available in the 80's and early 90's.
