Hi,
I got myself a BMW x1000xr a few months ago. I know that my owning a BMW will strike awe and feelings of inadequacy in some of you ( ;-) ) but seeing as it was 2nd hand I thought I'd take it to the dealership for a service the other day. They charged me (to be fair they asked for permission first) £28 extra to tension the chain. I decided to let them so I could see just exactly how far they tensioned it but made a mental note never to go back. I'm a mechanical numpty but that would take me 5 - 10 mins once I got the right spanners out and I've never been charged for that before, kind of assumed it was part of a service tbh. Just wondered what the general feeling was, whether I got what I deserved for not having it spot on when I went to the service (I left it for a couple of weeks as I knew I was going for a service and assumed that would be part of it) or whether you general agree my moany whinging was righteous ?!
