What changes the price

On the BMW 1 Series, access takes on average 15% more time than the average for its class (premium), where the range is £100 – £200.

Price mostly depends on oil volume and the grade the manufacturer requires (0W20, 5W30 C3, VW 504.00…). A diesel SUV engine can take 5.5 to 7 litres.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a oil and filter change bmw 1 series cost?

At an independent garage, expect £105 to £210, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £135 – £325.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. BMW 1 Series: 0.5 – 1 h.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
