Default 103 engine upgrade/5000 mile service

dealer has the 103 upgrade special installed for $1999

5000 mile service (which I will be needing very soon) is $300

since they will be in the motor will I still need (pay for) the 5000 mile service

You will for everything not involving the engine. I'm not looking at the schedule, but I think the only engine-related item on the 5k-warranty list is an oil and filter change.

Lyn... I could be wrong, but $2k sounds REALLY EXPENSIVE for a bigbore kit.... You could do it yourself for approximately $500.

I agree. Maybe you could get the part number for the kit, or better yet list all the components included, and you would probably get better feedback. That would be a good deal for a pre '07, are you sure that is not what the dealer is offering?
