Engine Oil, Air Filter and Coolant Costs; Dealer vs. Indy

My car is at the dealer for a bubbled tire.

Service Advisor just e-mailed me stating I need:

Oil Service: $168.41
Engine Air Filter: $146.95
Coolant Flush: $275.97

How do I take care of this more economically at an indy?

Should I buy the parts and bring them to an indy?

Any great places to purchase same?

Thanks!

You can do it all yourself , buy BMW filters online and save the labor. Oil is wherever they sell it. Big box retailers or auto parts stores. Air filter is about $30, so if you take 5 minutes to do yourself, you have saved over $100 right there. Full synthetic oil and BMW filter may run $50, so u just saved $100 more if you change yourself. Oil change places will be higher if you don't do yourself, but much less. And the kid doing the work won't mind you bringing it in
