Just spoke to my two local dealers to book my 4 year old bike in for its annual service. Prices have gone up, one quoted £430 the other £390. That is a big wedge especially as I've only done 2.5k since the last service, done most of my riding on our fleet bikes

My last BMW dealer service was in December 2022. It cost £63 labour only for an oil & filter change plus F&R brake fluid change. This included FOC collection & delivery. I supplied my own oil (£28.50) & filter (£5.50). The total cost for parts & labour was £97.
