Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
HI
I'm close to signing on the dotted line for a Z4M Roadster as was wondering the servicing costs, struggling to find specific info for UK cars.
We're looking at a Feb 08 car with 8300 miles, computer claims 4000 miles to next service. I am expecting to be doing less than 10k miles/year.
Currently I've got an 06 3.0i that i've had almost 3 years and only 1 service over that time, cost about £250, but I know the M is a completely different ball game.
Advice or links would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

Re: Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
At that mileage your next service will only be an oil service so about 200 notes. Inspecion 1 is roughly 5-800 depending on if your using indie/bm and inspection 2 I dont want to think about

Re: Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
That's not so bad. As I understand it you need to use a BM for servicing if you want to extend the waranty or get a decent trade in?

Give your local dealer a ring and ask them for prices, then you will know for sure.T3Jn wrote:That's not so bad. As I understand it you need to use a BM for servicing if you want to extend the waranty or get a decent trade in?

Re: Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
Oil Service: £180-£230 depending on dealer / price matching
Insp 1: £600-£900 depending on dealer / price matching
Insp 2: £800-£1200 depending on dealer / price matching
If you go Independent you can reduce those a lot. Just had mine serviced at 23k, Wood BMW in Bournemouth price matched Cotswolds BMW, £600inc VAT.

I disagree. Wanting to know what the service costs are in advance just seem like common sense to meCaddyshk wrote:If service cost is of concern, this may not be the car for you.

Re: Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
Of course it does - man logic my friend. For example:
Extra acceleration = you reach destinations quicker, allowing you to get more done in a working day and thus generate more income for the company and economy as a whole. Not to mention by using more fuel than a boring car, you are contributing more tax revenue to the government, allowing them to offer incentives to firms in other areas and thus creating jobs. So obviously
Z4M ownership = End to the recession, and not buying one would be ignoring your civic duty.
We all need one to do our part.

Re: Z4M Roadster Servicing Costs
Someone made the "if your counting the cost the m is not for you" comment to me on another forum. I think that's a bit of an elitist thing to say. Don't forget that due to epic depreciation the z4m is getting very affordable now. In the uk you can spend more on a specced up family saloon car than the m costs.
There's nothing wrong with getting the facts together on costs. Those of us who work very hard to pay for our cars won't be throwing money at the car needlessly.

Double $$ everything from oil changes to brakes - Nothing elitist about it - just managing expectations.
