Let me bump this one up for some questions. I'll preface this that I'm new to the whole BMW world.
I'm at 49.5K now. My computer tells me I'm due for Inspection in 1400 miles. I call up my local dealership and give them the info, and they tell me I'm up for Inspection II, and that will be $525, thank you very much. I assume that in all that "checking" if they find something, that price would climb. Given the car's condition, I would hope they wouldn't but you never know. I'm perfectly willing to do work myself, but I thought at least having some contact with my local dealer would have some value.
My wife and I are leaving for a road trip next week that will put well over 2000 miles on the car. I'm thinking an oil change would be needed at the very least. So, here are my questions:
Do I let my computer tell me what I should have the dealership do or go by mileage?
Is $525 a typical dealership charge for Inspection II?
If the computer is showing Inspection, and I only do an oil change for the time being, does that mess anything up with the notification?
Being that I am a new owner, are there any "piece of mind" checks I should have the dealer look into outside this list?
Looking forward to any thoughts or advice.
