well.. they are ment to be done every 2 years.. but I would say you can give or take a good few months. but as yours is on -315 thats nearly a year over so it would be a good idea to get it changed now.

Audi use to charge £100 so can't think BMW would charge much more..

cheers, when i bought the car i got it from evans halshaw, they gave me 2 year warrenty, would i be able to get it done there on the warrenty or is that a no go?

If you've still got TLC or TLC XL coverage then it should be covered under that. If you bought the car in the last 315 days, I'd argue that Evans Halshaw should have done that for you.

Not sure whether a warranty would cover that, to be honest.

warranty won't cover it.

It han't gone faulty, it just needs to be serviced.

if your car has got tlc on it, it will cover the first brake fluid, but if it has already been claimed on TLC the you'll be looking at around £70-80 depending on dealer rates. We charge approx £75 for a b/fluid

Sytner Leicester charged me £53 for a fluid change.

as above: if its -315 then your behind by quite a way.

Go to one of the national tyre fitting bays as they do a price menu and if i remember right ATS charge £30. Other than that go to any local garage/workshop as its a simple task and they will charge less than half of what the stealers want.
