2008 bmw 328xi

C63 owner in vancouver,bc plx help!!!

Hi guys, i am sending my baby to do my first oil change, the dealer said it costs around $400 for just engine oil, and diff oil change, i was wondering if it is a fair price? How much did u guys pay?or was it free? by the way my car has 5500km on it , and also the dealer mention that even on 15000km service i have to pay for it? isnt it free? my 2008 bmw 328xi was free for the 15000KM service.

Thanks guys

frankly I dont blame the original poster, I thought it was free too. "What made you think it was free?"... umm.... maybe the competition! I had a 2006 M5 for 15 months and everything was free; the break-in 2000km oil change was free, the break-in 5000km diff fluid change was free, and then the 12000km oil change was free.
Im in the market for a C63 myslef in the next 3-6mo, I cant believe routine oil changes wouldnt be free. AMG or not, its just oil, and its just an oil filter... why the F&%($ wouldnt they just include it?...

1st service is lim. slip diff. oil change at 3000km only if you have the perf. pack. If not no diff fluid change until around 50 000 km. (around 150$) Don't get fooled

1st sevice one year or 15 000 km around 350$ to 400$ plus tax.

You don't really believe that, do you? It was just built into the price of the car.

and i guess they already add on to car price. I wish MB will have that kind of service in the future too.

Audi doesn't do free service anymore either. Customers must pay for the AudiCare package in order to get the free service, which means it's not actually free...well, you get my point I'm sure.

You have to check your book,

I have to get my diff changed ( 3000 km) in the next couple weeks. So it should cost around 100 dollars?
