How Much Does a Major Service for a BMW M3 GTS Cost in Dubai? A Complete AED 19,567.60 Breakdown

This BMW M3 GTS arrived at DEIZ AUTO for a comprehensive inspection and major service. It is a 2011 car with almost symbolic mileage: the service estimate records 169 km, while the diagnostic report records 196 km. The difference is likely due to the car being moved and tested between the two documents. The more important point is that extremely low mileage does not prevent engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, the battery, tires, filters, seals, and other rubber components from ageing. For a collector car that has barely been driven, age can matter more than mileage. The complete BMW M3 GTS service covered by this estimate came to AED 19,567.60 including VAT. This amount included inspections, a major engine service, replacement of all main fluids, DCT transmission servicing, rear differential servicing, power steering fluid replacement, and installation of a new battery. The inspection also identified several additional issues that are not included in the current estimate: four old tires, scratches on the front spoiler, and a fault involving the climate-control ventilation flap motor. Here is the complete breakdown. Where I Service My BMW M3 GTS I have the car serviced at DEIZ AUTO GENERAL REPAIRING CO in Dubai. Address: Showroom 2, Al Roumi Building, Port Saeed, Dubai, UAE Service advisor and estimator: Artem Yatskevich Telephone: +971 4 608 6808 Email: [email protected] The service order was opened on July 27, 2026. In the photographs, the car is already at DEIZ AUTO: an orange BMW M3 GTS with a black roof, its distinctive aerodynamic bodywork, and a low front spoiler. Total Cost of the BMW M3 GTS Service The complete estimate is as follows: labor — AED 8,430; parts and consumables — AED 10,205.81; subtotal before VAT — AED 18,635.81; 5% VAT — AED 931.79; final total — AED 19,567.60. The standard labor rate for most mechanical work was AED 490 per hour. A separate rate of AED 540 per hour was used for the in-depth diagnosis of the ventilation flap motor. What the Inspection Revealed The car underwent a comprehensive inspection before the service began. The diagnostic report identified six main issues. Dirty Cabin Air Filter The air-conditioning cabin filter was assessed as being in poor condition. A contaminated filter reduces ventilation efficiency and affects air quality inside the car. The estimate already includes a new BMW cabin filter costing AED 510. This is particularly important in Dubai. Dust and fine sand can clog a filter relatively quickly, while the climate-control system is used for most of the year. A dirty filter restricts airflow, forces the blower motor to work harder, and can contribute to unpleasant odors inside the cabin. Battery in Poor Condition The inspection found that the battery was no longer providing sufficient power for reliable engine starting and operation of the vehicle’s electrical systems. The report recommends a replacement battery rated at 70 Ah and 720 CCA. The estimate includes: new AGM battery — AED 1,550; replacement labor — AED 245. The complete battery replacement cost was AED 1,795 before VAT. For a car with fewer than 200 km, this is not unusual. A battery deteriorates not only through use but also during long periods of storage. Dubai’s high temperatures can accelerate the battery’s chemical ageing. If a car like this is used infrequently, it should ideally be stored with a suitable battery maintainer rather than simply having its engine started for a few minutes from time to time. All Four Tires Are Too Old The inspection found all four tires to be unsuitable because of their condition and age. The car was fitted with Pirelli tires in the following sizes: front — 255/35 ZR19 (96Y), manufactured in 2010; rear — 285/30 ZR19 (98Y), manufactured in 2011. The front tires are therefore approximately 16 years old, while the rear tires are around 15 years old. Even if the tread appears acceptable, the rubber compound loses flexibility over time. Age-related deterioration can develop in the sidewalls and internal tire structure and may not be visible through a simple tread inspection. This is particularly critical in Dubai. High ambient temperatures, extremely hot asphalt, and potentially high driving speeds place considerable stress on old tires. The diagnostic report classifies tire replacement as highly urgent. The cost of four new tires and their installation is not included in the current estimate. This means the AED 19,567.60 total covers the major service but not every item required to make the car fully road-ready. All Technical Fluids Have Aged Despite the extremely low mileage, the inspection recommended replacing: engine oil; transmission fluid; rear differential oil; power steering fluid; brake fluid; coolant. This recommendation became the basis of the comprehensive major service. Fluids do not age only through mileage. They remain exposed to air, absorb moisture, go through temperature cycles, and gradually lose their protective properties. For a 2011 car with almost no mileage, relying only on the odometer would be a mistake. The service requirements are primarily determined by age. Scratches on the Front Spoiler Visible scratches were found on the front spoiler. The issue does not affect safety, so it was classified as low priority. The report recommends cosmetic repair or replacement of the front spoiler. The front spoiler repair is not included in this estimate. For a low car in Dubai, the front splitter requires particular care. Steep parking entrances, building ramps, speed bumps, and other changes in road level can easily damage the underside of the aerodynamic element. Ventilation Flap Motor Fault The computer scan identified an active fault code related to the climate-control system’s ventilation flap motor. The estimate includes an in-depth inspection: two hours at AED 540 per hour — AED 1,080. However, this AED 1,080 covers diagnosis only. The document does not list the cost of the flap motor itself or the labor required to replace it. In Dubai, this problem should not be treated as a minor inconvenience. If the flap is not operating correctly, the air-conditioning system may distribute air unevenly, send airflow through the wrong vents, or fail to provide sufficient cooling. During the summer, a properly functioning climate-control system is a basic requirement for normal vehicle operation, not merely a comfort feature. Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection: AED 1,470 Before the service began, the car underwent a three-hour comprehensive inspection: three hours at AED 490 per hour — AED 1,470. This inspection covered the car’s general technical condition and helped define the list of required work. The diagnostic report also contains photographs documenting paint thickness measurements and the condition of the filters, tires, brake components, and bodywork. Together with the ventilation flap diagnosis, the complete diagnostic section came to: general inspection — AED 1,470; ventilation flap motor diagnosis — AED 1,080; total — AED 2,550 before VAT. Major Engine Service The main service included: engine oil replacement; oil filter replacement; cabin filter replacement; brake fluid replacement; replacement of eight spark plugs. The work took five labor hours: major service labor — AED 2,450. Engine Oil The engine received nine liters of BMW M TwinPower Turbo 10W-60 oil: nine liters at AED 74.40 each — AED 669.60. The following parts were also required: genuine BMW oil filter — AED 135; BMW screw plug — AED 15; BMW sealing ring — AED 32. The engine oil, filter, plug, and sealing ring cost AED 851.60 in total. Engine oil condition is particularly important in Dubai because of the high ambient temperatures, prolonged use of the air-conditioning system, and possible extended periods of storage. Low mileage does not mean old oil can remain inside an engine indefinitely. For a collector car, calendar-based servicing and storage conditions are more relevant than mileage alone. Spark Plugs The engine required eight spark plugs: eight spark plugs at AED 110 each — AED 880. Their replacement was included in the major service labor. Brake Fluid The estimate specifies PAGID Racing Brake Fluid RBF: four 0.5-liter bottles; price per bottle — AED 201.08; total volume — two liters; total cost — AED 804.32. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and gradually loses its temperature stability. This matters even if the car has covered very little mileage, especially if it will be driven hard or used on a track. In Dubai, the braking system is exposed to additional thermal stress from high ambient temperatures and hot road surfaces. Brake fluid condition should therefore be monitored based on time and usage, not just mileage. Cabin Air Filter The new BMW air-conditioning filter cost AED 510. Its replacement is supported by the inspection results, which found the old filter contaminated and in need of replacement. Total Cost of the Major Engine Service Parts and consumables: cabin filter — AED 510; eight spark plugs — AED 880; brake fluid — AED 804.32; oil filter — AED 135; screw plug — AED 15; sealing ring — AED 32; nine liters of 10W-60 oil — AED 669.60. The parts and consumables totaled AED 3,045.92. Labor was AED 2,450. The complete major engine service cost AED 5,495.92 before VAT. DCT Transmission Service One of the most expensive parts of the service was the complete replacement of the DCT transmission fluid and filters. The work took 2.5 labor hours: DCT transmission service labor — AED 1,225. Parts and consumables: pressure filter — AED 416; transmission oil pan with gasket — AED 922.25; suction filter — AED 550.25; screw plug — AED 64.23; 14 screws at AED 14.34 each — AED 200.76; eight liters of DCTF 1 Plus transmission fluid at AED 178.25 per liter — AED 1,426. The parts and transmission fluid totaled AED 3,579.49. Including labor, the DCT service cost AED 4,804.49 before VAT. This was more than a simple drain-and-refill operation. The estimate included the oil pan and gasket, two filters, a new plug, and a complete set of fasteners. This type of service is particularly important in Dubai. High ambient temperatures add to the overall thermal load, while the transmission in a high-performance car already operates under demanding temperature conditions. Power Steering Fluid Replacement The power steering fluid was replaced: two liters of FUCHS TITAN CHF 11S — AED 150; one hour of labor — AED 490. The complete cost was AED 640 before VAT. Old hydraulic fluid can lose its properties, while rubber seals and hoses continue to age even when the car is stored. After replacement, the system should be inspected for leaks or fluid seepage, particularly following the first drives in hot weather. Coolant Replacement The cooling system received fresh coolant: 12 billing units of coolant at AED 59.20 each — AED 710.40; two hours of labor — AED 980. The complete cost was AED 1,690.40 before VAT. For Dubai, this is one of the most important jobs in the entire estimate. Coolant must do more than protect the system against freezing. It must transfer heat effectively, prevent corrosion, and remain stable at high operating temperatures. After a long period of storage, it is advisable to inspect not only the coolant level but also the radiators, cooling fans, hoses, and the system’s overall sealing and operating temperature under load. The car should be checked not only while idling inside the workshop but also after a proper road test with the air-conditioning system running. Rear Differential Oil Replacement The rear differential oil was replaced: four 0.5-liter containers of differential oil at AED 280 each — AED 1,120; two screw plugs with O-rings at AED 25 each — AED 50; one hour of labor — AED 490. The complete rear differential service cost AED 1,660 before VAT. Differential oil ages even when a car is barely driven. Condensation may accumulate during long-term storage, while the oil’s protective additives gradually deteriorate. For a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, the condition of the differential directly affects the smooth and reliable transfer of power. Battery Replacement The inspection found the original battery to be in poor condition and recommended a replacement rated at 70 Ah and 720 CCA. The estimate included: new AGM battery — AED 1,550; 0.5 hours of replacement labor — AED 245. The complete cost was AED 1,795 before VAT. After installing the new battery, correct storage becomes especially important for a rarely used car. Dubai’s heat accelerates battery ageing, while long periods of inactivity gradually discharge the battery because of the vehicle’s background electrical consumption. The best solution for a collector car is a suitable battery maintainer and storage in a temperature-controlled environment. The Most Expensive Parts of the Service The main expenses before VAT were: Major engine service — AED 5,495.92. DCT transmission service — AED 4,804.49. General and in-depth diagnostics — AED 2,550. Battery replacement — AED 1,795. Coolant replacement — AED 1,690.40. Rear differential service — AED 1,660. Power steering fluid replacement — AED 640. The subtotal before VAT was AED 18,635.81. VAT was AED 931.79. The final total was AED 19,567.60. What Is Included in the AED 19,567.60 Total? The total includes: comprehensive vehicle inspection; in-depth ventilation flap motor diagnosis; engine oil and oil filter; cabin air filter; eight spark plugs; brake fluid; complete DCT transmission service; transmission fluid and filters; transmission oil pan and gasket; power steering fluid; coolant; rear differential oil; new AGM battery; labor for all listed replacement operations. What Is Not Included? The current estimate does not include: four new tires; tire installation and balancing; repair or replacement of the front spoiler; a replacement ventilation flap motor; climate-control system repairs following the detailed inspection; any additional work that may become necessary after the car’s first proper road tests. Therefore, AED 19,567.60 is the cost of the major service and the specific work listed in the estimate, not the final cost of making the car completely ready for regular road use. The most urgent additional item is the replacement of all four tires. Until they are replaced, the car should not be driven hard, particularly at high speeds or during Dubai’s summer heat. What Requires Special Attention When Running a BMW M3 GTS in Dubai? Cooling System After replacing the coolant, the cooling fans, radiators, hoses, and the entire system should be checked for leaks and correct operation. Dust and sand can accumulate on heat exchangers and reduce cooling efficiency. Air Conditioning and Ventilation Replacing the cabin filter addresses only one part of the issue. The active ventilation flap motor fault still requires further diagnosis and repair. In Dubai, the climate-control system needs to operate correctly in every mode, including the central vents, windscreen demisting, footwell airflow, and recirculation. Battery Infrequent use combined with high temperatures is particularly demanding for a battery. The car should ideally be stored with a suitable battery maintainer, and its voltage should be checked regularly. Tires The 2010–2011 tires must be replaced regardless of their remaining tread depth. Once the new set is installed, the wheels should be balanced and cold tire pressures checked. In Dubai, tire pressure is particularly important during seasonal temperature changes and before longer journeys, as ambient and road temperatures have a noticeable effect on operating pressure. Rubber Components Despite the extremely low mileage, the following rubber components continue to age: coolant and hydraulic hoses; oil seals; O-rings; suspension bushings; protective boots; belts; door and window seals. Once the car begins to be used regularly, some age-related defects may only appear under heat and load. Braking System After replacing the brake fluid, the flexible brake hoses, calipers, pads, and discs should be inspected. The diagnostic report includes a photograph of the brake assembly, but it does not list a specific braking-system fault. Bodywork and Front Spoiler The front spoiler already has visible scratches. Because of the car’s low ride height, extra care is required on ramps, parking entrances, and speed bumps. To preserve the original paintwork, the car should not be left in direct sunlight for extended periods. Sand and dust should also be removed using a safe washing method rather than wiping the dry surface. Why Extremely Low Mileage Does Not Mean Minimal Maintenance This BMW M3 GTS has covered fewer than 200 km, but the car is approximately 15 years old. During that time, the fluids, tires, battery, and filters have continued to age. The cost of this service is therefore determined not by mileage but by the need to return every system to reliable operating condition. Looking only at the odometer could suggest that the car requires almost nothing. The inspection shows otherwise: the filter is contaminated; the battery requires replacement; the tires are unsafe because of their age; all main fluids need to be renewed; the climate-control system has an active fault; the front spoiler has cosmetic damage. For collector cars, age-based servicing is not excessive precaution. It is an essential part of responsible ownership. Final Cost The complete BMW M3 GTS service covered by the current estimate came to AED 19,567.60 including VAT. For this amount, the car receives a comprehensive inspection, fresh engine oil, new filters, new spark plugs, new brake fluid, a complete DCT transmission service, fresh power steering fluid, new coolant, new rear differential oil, and a new AGM battery. Three separate tasks will remain after this service: Replace all four tires. Complete the diagnosis and repair of the ventilation flap motor. Repair or replace the scratched front spoiler. In Dubai, maintaining a car like this requires much more than replacing the engine oil. The cooling system, air conditioning, battery, tire age, and condition of every technical fluid must be considered at the same time. This is the real cost of returning an almost unused BMW M3 GTS to service: AED 19,567.60 for the major maintenance package, plus a separate budget for tires, climate-control repairs, and cosmetic work.
