So, my G21 is now 3 years old. This year I have the brake fluid + MOT scheduled. But I also would like to have an interim oil change as I think 2yrs is too long. I intend to kepe the car long-term (10~12 yrs maybe).

Car is under warranty so prefer to stay main dealer, but their engine oil service is £340 - seems steep for just an oil change!

Also, my official BMW service station (no sales) is 10min away, Group 1 BMW. Been there a few times (also run MINI) and I suppose they're... "allright..." Keen on any reccomendations for "great" main dealer service in London - aware might be impossible feat though. Was thinking Sytner in High Wycombe (where I bought the car) or Stevenage? Or will it be much of a muchness and I might as well stay local with considerable less hassle?

They are much of a muchness in the South East. Inchcape are dire. Independent servicing is allowable under warranty so long as genuine parts are used and invoices are kept. Good indies are hooked up to BMW's servers, so the key and idrive get updated accordingly.

CPC in Amersham are very popular with enthusiasts.

I rate Sytner (formerly Specialist Cars) Luton.

I made an enquiry with CPC but after providing them with my registration they never came back to me. The other independent I called wanted more than Sytner.
