Id much rather takemy car to him for the break in service. He has all the equipment to log the service with BMW etc and is BMW approved. would BMW do anything extra that my guy couldnt he can reset the service shcedules etc, etc? ALso in the UK something I wasnt aware of, is the 1st service included I assumed not? |

Also the BMW dealership say wont effect thewarranty (ive never actually used BMW I always se the same guy for my cars as a good friend and amazing mechanic).
Only thing it may effect is final resale value - but this is kind of covered by the GFv |

Oh the complimentary services are a North American thing? If your BMW dealership says its ok to get the car service by your dude, then I would get that in writing.

In the UK its law that manufacturers cant demand you get the servicing done at certain dealers. BMW's site and hand book says as long as they are BMW approved.
Wierd how NA gets in included, BMW wanted 486 quid / aabout 650 usd for the service and they had to find out what it needs as my local one has not done one yet. |
