I dropped in at bmw on my way from work yesterday to book it in for an inspection.

They told me that it will cost £175 just to look at the non starting issue!, Am I being ripped off here or its just their standar riffoff charges

To make matters worse, the car wont' start on their drive way, so I've had to leave the car there last night and rent a car for a whole week cos they said they are busy till new week Tuesday.

I have had the car for just over a year now, and i have done all break pads & discs all round and given it 3 oil & filter changes since i bought the the car. All this i did myself

These cars do cost a fortune!
