Service indicator says car due for oil service. It's just comimg up to 15k so this will be it's 1st service.

Few of questions for the forum experts:

1 - What work will be carried out, is it just an oil change & visual inspection or is there more involved?

The display says the following, so it looks like just an oil change is due:

Oil - 220 miles
Brake Fluid - 11/08
Micro Filter - 18k (04/09)
Road Worthiness Test (whatever that is?) - 12/09
Next Service - 18k
Rear Brakes - 28k
Front Brakes - 33k
Spatrk Plugs - 49k

2 - Does the work have to be carried out by the stealer or can it be taken to a local independant BMW specialist?

3 - If it's taken to an independant how does this effect the warranty? If they genuine BMW parts & stamp the book etc is this ok?

3 - Any idea what the stealers charge for an oil change service?

Car is a 325i petrol

Wil cost you around £120-160 depending on where you are, take it to someone other than BMW and loose £1000 over night on the cars value.

You decide.

Took my 320D last week to the stealer

told the stealer to use my own OPIE Castrol Edge oils that I prebought for £70
Oil change (labour only)
brake fluid change
They topped up my window wash for £11 :
total stealer cost was £190
