Phantom · 2006-12-20T23:58:14+00:00

My son has a new M Series BMWand is in Germany. The dealer chargedhim 240 Euro for the oil during the oil change. I need to know ifthere is any other source for the oil at a cheaper price. In Fl. adealer charged us $130 for 12 Qt case which he took back to Germanyafter Thanksgiving holidays. Castrol website doesn't even mention it except on their UK pages.There they refer to it as CASTROL EDGE 10W-60 Oil.I read also BMW may be using Mobil Synthetic as a replacement in thefuture but no word from BMW yet. Anyone useing this or similar oil? Any ideas where to get it?Thanks

surely you can get a nice chinese or Indian :-) and thanks to the motorist (and no-one else) we are getting better weather!

Thats is true, a hell of a lot od dealers get away with sh**y service in this country and just because one has B&O stereos and free real coffee does not stop them being Arfur Daley (as you saw in another post about my mates new/ not new car - probably the dealer even kept the VAT so even more of a fiddle)
