Just ringing around for prices for stuff so i can service the 2002 3.0D X and BMW are stupidly expensive when compared to eurocarparts, ebay etc.

502110261 Air filter - eurocarparts = £15.12
                                - BMW            = £47.20

507110171 Pollen  - eurocarparts = £14.32
                              - BMW              = £41.18

503110380 Fuel    - eurocarparts  = £23.20
                              - BMW              = £43.70

11127799225 Oil Breather - eurocarparts = £41.76
                                          - BMW            = £59.78

And ebay are slighty cheaper again. A couple of ££ different maybe I could understand, but mostly over double the price, such a rip off, especially as they all come from the same factory usually.

Rant over sorry.

i know there are 2 types of pollen filter, basic one and dearer carbon one. but still half price at ecp or gsf.
i get my service stuff including oil from ebay, never had an issue so far.
we should start a thread with bmw part prices against cheaper third party items!

I think its terrible the prices they charge, its like my 2 year warrenty I have with my X, if I don't go to a citroen garge all they will pay is £60 an hour labour rate, thats most garages out of the question as BMW charge well over £100 I think.

LMAO @ the thought of the spanner monkey whose never touched more than a 1.1 Saxo letting loose on an X5.

TBH, the BMW fixings will probably break their tools!  )

I know their parts off shelf aren't cheap but if its due a service I would get a price from them 1st.........My indy can't match BMW dealer on older cars due to servicing deals on older BMW's.

It had inspection 2 done in Aug last year (6k done since) and still has 2 green lights, but I like to service my cars when I buy them, its the oil breather I want to change really, but thought I may as well change the air and pollen has they have to be accessed.

I am sure you will make sure you get the proper breather as it was revised. 

Yes mate, the part above is the new vortex type. Just want to strip it all down and clean it all out, egr etc as well.

Call Cotswold BMW and quote the forum - they give a discount.
