Elliot Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 If you mean Inspection 2 then anywhere between £650 and £1300 (inc VAT), with any additional unexepected items on top. Cotswold BMW are about the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 If you mean the 3rd service, then it could be an oil service, and so much cheaper. Service goes: Oil, Insp 1, Oil, Insp2, Oil, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3WOB Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thank you fellas, on the basis the last service was an inspection 2 and it seems that involved changing the oil & filters for the sum of £700, I was guessing at some point they may do a proper service and change the plugs, cambelt etc etc & thought that might be called an inspection 3?

[/ QUOTE ] Inspection 2 involves a lot more than that - what you are describing sounds exactly like the 'in between' oil service referred to above, which should cost about £200. You need to ckeck the service book, or contact a BMW dealer to confirm exactly what services the car has had, and thus what is due. Get this wrong and you will void the warranty, and the M3 engine isn't really considered bullet proof, so that would be expensive..........

edo Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 If the last was Insp2, the next is oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
