BMW Parts Prices - How They Compare

[BBB61]

In another thread, one of the contributors stated he sold his BMW, partly because the cost of parts was far higher than Japanese bikes. I did some research today to see if that was the case. Here are the prices I was quoted:-

All the prices were obtained from authorised dealers and they include VAT. I've just restricted it to the routine service items, throwing in the indicator, switch unit (especially as I had to replace one recently) and mirror for good measure.

Thats a good bit of research there Bob. Very well done I thought.

I dont suppose you also found out the hourly rate the various marques charge for servicing? That would really be good.

I was thinking of doing that next Mike, but that is not so easily comparable. London prices within the M25 are going to be a fair bit higher than the rest of the country, but I'll give it a go.
