M3 Simple Oil Service

[Gismo]

Ah well, put the M3 in for a simple oil service as per the interval requirement, gets a phone call, ah, Mr Mercer, your front discs are under the BMW recommended limit, the two front tyres are shot and you'll need a KDS, you have a broken rear spring :eek:
Can't wait to get the bill for this one :(

Bonnie, if they are doing a KDS just because the spring is broken then they shouldnt be. A KDS should not be required for a broken spring.

[Big Gordy]

Ohh dear:( Remember and sit down when they phone you with the total:eek: I recon if your getting all the stuff through BMW your bill won't be far short of a grand:eek: :eek: :eek:

The KDS is being done cause of the way the front tyres were worn :(

Nightmare mate, how old is the car?

The spring at the back could be a warranty thing, I've heard some of them are prone to breaking.

Sadly the warranty expired last September :( we've had a wee bit of trouble with teh rear right in the past, broken bolt, cracked wishbone

I had to fork out just over £400 for 2 new front Wishbones on my E46 recently and that was using an indy but using OEM parts.:cool:
