Not having (or wanting) Facebook I can't even see.
I was going to post a copy of one of my Bentley service bills, with a bit of ACcwork including compressor and drier - £7300 and that was 4 years back. Prices have gone up since then!

WOW. Now that is expensive. I don't suppose the old cheap USA favoured method of sucking it up through the dipstick would work either!The gist of the video was that changing the oil on a Veyron seems to involve an extraordinary amount of deconstruction just to get at the engine. And then there are numerous oil drain plugs to contend with. $21k from a main dealer. Bargain!
Based on the purchase price I bet it's no larger percentage wise than a BMW.
that sounds like a man with a Black Belt 1st Dan in justifying stuff to the lady of the house!Your man-maths is epic, Peter! Well done.
Wheels? WTF happens that you need to replace the wheels?Looking at on webpage it quotes tyres at $33,000 every 2,500 miles and wheels $50,000 every 10k
Plus service that's a lot of BMW! Sheesh!

They see you coming...!
Apparently the TPMS also reports everything back to Bugatti, real time. So they know if you try changing a tyre, or a wheel.
And as the sensors are immovably built into the wheel and aren't for sale - you're in their grasp!

Mind you what were they new £5m? and even then I believe they were losing money on each one - some pretty fancy parts on the edge of their operating window one would assume hence replacement period
They all charge what they think they can get away with , when bought in advance 3 years x 3 services on my 5.0 420bhp mustang is £620 parts & vat included at a main Ford dealer.
I don't see how òther manufacturers main dealers costs could be any higher on service items but the veyron is in the very wealthy bracket so even the oil will be 10x the price in a bugatti oil drum
