Just taken mine in for inspection 1.

Normal 15 minutes wait whilst the fact you are here gets transmitted from reception to service reception - a distance of about 2.5metres.

Picked it up - another wait. Was advised that my dust caps are "non genuine BMW".

Your point being, I asked. Well we recommend bmw parts for safety and efficiency.

I also noticed a sign recommending a safety check (chargeable - about £45) in addition to the rostered service items in the service book.

What's this all about - is the service book service schedule sufficient? Are dealers trying to make a bit more (perish the thought). We should be told.
