Looking online at the 4 year (£998) vs 2 year (£254) only difference are door gas struts (£146) and drive belt seems steep that is ~£600 for the drive belt !! unless I'm missing something ?
What is amazing is the low cost of front discs and pads £426 that's £300 less than I was quoted for my 335d
2 Year service £254
Engine oil, microfilter and spark plug service
Engine oil is drained and the engine is refilled with BMW approved oil
Oil filter is removed and replaced with a genuine BMW oil filter
Microfilter(s) is removed and replaced with a genuine BMW microfilter
Spark plugs are removed and replaced with genuine BMW approved spark plugs
Door hinges are inspected and tightened if required
Relevant service light reset
Recommended at 18,000 / 54000 / 90,000 miles or 2 / 6 / 10 years from date of manufacture. To alternate with a Hybrid Oil Service II

I have no idea why they want you to change the door struts either! Surely if they stop working you'll get them replaced, until that time, why change them? Unless they are suggesting that they aren't up to the job in which case they should be replacing them foc. I'll have my 4 year up in March next year, so interested to see how you get on, but changing the drive belt after 4 years is unusually early.
