$140 for full inspection, oil change, parts, labor and a walk-around video is definitely "the other side."

I'd offer them more to ensure that the tech doesn't just raise the hood, go pee, lower the hood and roll it out the door. (Not unusual.) Otherwise he's getting paid $8 for his investment in tools and training. Less than a porter.

you’re trolling BMW at this point and there is nothing for me to reply to, but that’s the reality even if u don’t believe it, it won’t change the fact that this is what all BMW owners are enjoying as the standard. BMW cares and delivers. And no, your speculations are wrong; I can see them working on the car behind the glass.

No I don't believe you. Unless they're using used oil and takeoff parts.
Not trolling BMW.
Your apples and oranges comparison seems to be trolling MB.

No, if they only charge $140 for a full service, I would never go back. Something's wrong with the place.

Hahahaha, yeah something wrong with 5 dealers in 3 different states, but there isn’t anything wrong going inside your brain lol.
Nobody cares whether you believe it or not, 140-160 USD is the same amount I have paid for all my cars specifically for the annual oil and filter change as well as full inspection including a walk-around video, tire depth measurements and top-off for all fluids.
No doubt Mbenz managed to keep ripping off their clients several hundred dollars for a annual inspection and oil change/filter lol, when they think it’s not possible for others to get the same for $150

And you know what? For years and years they have been running the $230 USD to cover 3 annual services that includes the inspection and oil change. In my inbox once every quarter. You don’t believe it? So what lol I couldn’t care less about what people believe or don’t. Facts are facts. You don’t own one, you never did recently, you just don’t have the means to even debate it but you have the rights to feel clueless and not believe it : )

The company that offers the 100% FREE annual service up to 3 years on every car they sell can definitely treat their customers by offering the competitive annual service rate for oil change and inspection after the free service for 3 years that they have been known for.

Helpful chart, I wish MB would post a publicly accessible, easy to read chart like this. I found this pdf on MBWorld for my v167 so I've been using it as reference (attached).

I wonder why your chart doesn't mention spark plugs at 50k/5yr.

Thanks for the PDF. It seems to be the most current one I've seen.

I don't know why it's so hard to find a maintenance schedule anymore, but at least we've save a tree.
