As long as they done a full change that's cheap... It £75 at my local Porsche dealer. Some other dealers locally are £100+

My fear is that most main dealers only suck the reservoir out then top it back up again.

I don't think an official dealer would do that,I watched them as they did it
A non BMW shop may try what you suggested.

You can feel that first touch is that much sharper after the change and the tech saw I was watching him. Used 1 litre of Dot 4.
