Ever consider giving it a try yourself... Very very simple process. depending on whats your SH looks like and cars mileage id really consider this option if your capable.
Id guess around 80 quid would be the going rate?? but this could be very wrong, whenever mines been done its always been as part of the bigger service so don't recall the actual costs. I get it done bi yearly with the booked stamped as per the schedule, but if i do a few track days i will always change it out myself and make a note in the service book of the miles it was changed.

Yup, doing mine tomorrow before Saturdays Trackday at RAF Lyneham (a new venue). A nice simple process on the M, certainly when compared to modern Boxster/Cayman.

My local BMW dealer charges £80.00, no doubt an independent might do it for less (assuming you don't want to do it yourself)

I get TWG in Camberley to do mine, £40 all in. BMW fluid plus they use all the proper equipment during the bleeding process, special function in DIS / ISTA apparently for the DSC system bleed though never found that one myself using it. TWG are about average price wise so should be about the same in most places, apart from stealers obviously.

Mine needs sorting, replacing the bleed nipples too due to corrosion.
