I came in a bit early because of some rattling door noises...the first service wasn't due till 14K km. The noises were fixed with some tape to the car body where the doors meet. It happens with black interiors I was told. I don't know how much it would cost if you deliberately wanted to change your oil earlier at the BMW SCs or which is the best. Quill did a good job. It's relatively quiet compared to other SCs so you know they are not doing a rush job. How much is your mileage now Jim? And I hear there are outside mechanics who can do the oil change too. Still I feel more confident with the official SCs. It's all intricate electronics and nifty modern engineering tech these days and the outside guys might bungle everything up.And maybe BMW might pick up on their meters that we serviced the car outside and that would invalidate our warranties.Has anybody reported unusual amount of sludging during the first oil change for our 320d cars?</p></blockquote><p></p>
