RE: B7 of Joy

Agreed - I really don't know what induced BMW to give up on the idea of a "driver-focussed dash" (instead they have this weird thing that curves convex and sticks out in the middle like a bloody washbasin, what's that supposed to prove?). The A6 has picked up where they left off, and works very well with its driver-facing console, IMHO. And the materials are great

It's a shame the B7 A4 hasn't gone more down the same route - they've gone for the corporate nose but not done much with the interior, which is a shame. Missed opportunity.

Sorry, that is not seriously 88 plus vat for 6.3 litres of oil?

Chav,

Was that a second service? £550 seems a bit steep for a service, what else did you have done?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, 2nd service.

I'm not a mechanic, so hopefully they only do things that are actually necessary!

Here's the invoice....

Interesting they change the gearbox oil.....

£88 for the oil is a joke - Surely?

Even if you buy SLX LongLife II from a BP station it's only 12.99 a litre INC VAT!!! (77.94)

That would've come out of a bulk tank too!!

88.14 + vat is 103.56 WTF!
