Hi John,
Thanks alot for that. I was wondering about independents so that's very handy cheers.
The car is 2015 and after speaking to BMW Nottingham it appears that it had a major service June 2019. It only needs brake fluid change at £72 which surprised me as I thought that they would charge alot more than that. There is also a BMW recall outstanding to do with the exhaust reticulation..... whatever that is! So on this first service (for me as owner) I'll go with the main dealer. I just wonder what else they will find that "needs" attention 🤔 😉
