£176 to change two tyres! I mean if its a GS its easy, has a good jacking point for dealers and its a single sided swing arm, literally about as easy as it gets.
Did they also true the wheels, fit new TPS sensors, paint the chips, properly balance them with hidden weights, remove rotors and bolts, clean and reattach with new loctite? If no, then £100-120 over the odds, mad.

I know - I would usually tell them to do one. I have a guy (Chris @ London MPR) as he lives around the corner from me but he fucked his back up last year and couldn't do it. I left it right to the last minute to ask too, before I went on a trip, and already had a service for the bike booked in. I literally phoned them up the morning of the service to ask if they could do it.
Live and learn I guess.
This thing is less than 3 years old (still under warranty) and has been in for two recalls and two warranty repairs. I love the bike but buying it outright at the end of my PCP in 2024 will be a big decision.
The main dealers are usually really helpful for BMW but this felt properly shady. It helped there was another customer next to me booking in their 72 plate for its first service. The louder I talked, the quicker it got resolved.
