530d msport first service

My g30 is due it's first service in couple weeks which I believe is just a oil change. My local dealer if offering the below for £424. Is this a good deal?

First oil change and microfilter change.
Brake fluid change in 12 months

I paid a few pence under £300 for my first service on my 540i which I would assume would take a similar amount of oil etc. If your dealer is offering the brake fluid and MOT in the £424 then that's not too dissimilar so would seem ok.

The service agent said the microfilter is changed with every scheduled oil change.

Did the £300 incl the microfilter?

Online price for oil change + microfilter is £424.

Is that a UK thing?

According to the service manual that came with my car the cabin microfilter is changed every second oil change.

Possibly. Uk isn't kind to hay fever sufferers.

Yes - included the microfilter, so I had oil, filter, microfilter done and the normal inspection etc for just under £300. I was expecting it to be more to be honest so was rather pleased!

I signed up to the EMAC service plan, worked out much cheaper.
£25 a month for a minor/major/MOT, Brake Fluid and extended map updates.
