Running in

[andyf]

Local dealers are quoting me between ?200 - ?220 today, which seems a bit steep for the first service.

Dealers usually subsidise the running in service if you bought the bike from them. Other dealers would charge you full price.

Sycamore Motorrad do a fixed cost ?100 for the RIS if you've bought the bike from them.

My M came from Wollaston but my local dealer is Chester so they did the 1st service. Wollaston would have discounted the cost to ?100 so I got BMW to transfer my ?500 dealer credit (paid to people who were let down on last year?s delivery dates) from Wollaston to Chester, Chester then did the service and BMW paid the difference in non-supplying dealer cost - which I think was ?150, so I paid ?100. It was a bit of a ball ache to sort but all parties were good and I can?t fault BM?s customer service.

So if you?re contemplating 1st service by non-supplying dealer then worth contacting BMW to see if they?ll sort the subsidy.

I just used the customer services e mail - [email protected]. Think I had replies from several people via that, didn?t have to wait too long either. Basically, they agreed that I shouldn?t be disadvantaged due to the circumstances. I chose Wollaston because I bought my Gens 2 & 3 off them and figured I?d get the 4 quicker because they?re a big dealer, and I was right!
