The services are pre paid? I would assume that BMW would charge more than Honda would for any service.

Ah I see. They only thing I don't like about the BMW service is that there is no set km/time to service your car. My dad's old 3 series was only getting serviced every 30,000k which is way too long.
$350 for a service and you supply the oil?
What a rip-off
NRMA in NSW were advertising a service for $100 + Consumables and I told the mother-in-law that was too much.
We shopped around and got it cheaper again.
You guys are easy marks for these rip-off merchants.
30 minutes labour (usually done by the apprentice), wholesale cost price for bulk oil and filters = $350 haaaaaaaaaa- at least $250 clear profit for the Stealership of your hard earned readies.
That 30 minutes included checking transaxle oil levels etc. - allow at least 25 seconds to check the master cylinder levels and fill the washer bottle.
You can add another 30 minutes if you want the wheels removed and a brake check done, but who wears out a set of pads in 60K.
Any brake or tyre place will do a free brake check anyway.
60,000kms is next to nothing for these cars, the Dealers are just trying to frighten you into thinking all the heads of the valves will drop off if you don't race in a spend some money with them.
Change the oil and filter yourself and just drive the car
How much is the prepaid value? I know some country offer free services for the first 3 years or something like that.
Read that the 2012 3 Series are endowed with HUD's AS STD! This is one of the coolest gadgetry one can have in a car
Just serviced my Euro at a local mechanic (130k) log book said only oil needs to be changed but I changed the filter too. bought OEM oil n Filter from Honda for $60 something, n Mechanic charged me $50 for the work.
