I have just been quoted £275 inc vat for my first service (oil change) at my local BMW dealer. I have been to a local garage I know I can trust and he has quoted me £144 inc vat. They told me the parts they use will be genuine BMW so the warranty wouldn't be hindered. Just wondered if this is something that has to be done at a BMW dealer or can be done anywhere?

You can take it to any registered garage and as long as they use genuine parts it will not affect the warranty. Same for all makes of cars. I suspect this is the case because of the Office of Fair Trading Act.

      But What size front are 225x?x? rear the same 255x?x? If wheels are 17" they should be 7.5J rims 18" 8.0J rims 19" should be 8.0J all round or if wider rears then 8j front and 9j rear The ONLY wheel set that has wider rear rims is 19" so if your car has 17" or 18" wheels the tyres are probably wrong just checking the width does not make them correct Dave

      Hi Cameron That sounds wrong for an X! to me unless the rear wheels are wider than the front If your wheels are 17" tyre size should be 225x50x17 94H front and rear 18" Wheels tyres should be 225x45x18 or if wider rims at the rear 255x40x18 at the back 19" rims tyres should be 225x40x19" front 255x35x19" rear As I have said check very carefully if the rear tyres are 255 but should be 225 then the distance they cover each rotation will be to much of a difference between front and rear and will cause damage Dave
