100K Service?
 

I just hit 100,800 miles on my 01 4.4. I am thinking of keeping the X and would like to know if anyone has performened the 100k service at BMW? Is it worth it? They told me it would cost $1400. Need some advise or should I take it around to some local shops and see if they can do the same thing for less.

anyone!!!

I have a 05 3.0i Petrol with just 55907 miles on it and I plan on taking it to the BMW dealer for it's next service as they have all the equipment to carry out the full inspection as with a local dealer/mechanic, in my opinion they wouldn't have the expertise to find faults or potential problems that the BMW dealer would make you aware off in advance and could save you a few $$ in the long run - once you look after it, it'll look after you! however if you find a good local dealer that will do the full 100,000 inspection using OEM parts then it's probably worth considering and also how long more do you plan on keeping the car for..?? My last BMW a 01 325Ci was fully serviced with BMW and it was worth it I think because it never gave me any trouble in between service inspections except for a some sensors that needed to be replaced - it also helps when you go to sell it too! Hope that helps.

I hit 100k on my 3.0

I changed:

spark plugs - $5 each x 6 = $30. Yours will be $40 since you are V8

Air Filter - $15
Cabin Filter - $20

Fuel Filter - $60 (this one was a pain in the ass so if you are not handy go to a mechanic and it will be around $150-300 labor).

Oil change - $60

Bought the belts and hoses for $100 total. Haven't done those yet.

IMO if BMW does everything above with the ADDITION of changing your fluids (power steering, brake)... then it can possibly be worth $1400. If they skip parts like the fuel filter ... waste of money big time

Thanks for the feedback

Um, pump your brakes. You gave people 30 minutes to respond..before demanding help. This isn't a BMW 24/7 hotline.

As for 100k service, if BMW says to do it, you should do it. You don't have to use a BMW dealer for service, just make sure an independent shop makes all the 100k requirements.

Did you end up doign the 100k service--eurogreek1 ???

do you expect him to respond back? its been over 2 years. 100k service is

Spark Plugs
Trans and Transfer Case Service
Replace Pre-Cat O2 Sensors
