X5 E70 - BMW independent service - Chisser

My X5 is now more than 3 years old and needs a oil service inc microfilter,and rear+front pads.BMW's own dealers have quoted more than £1000 or £1400 if discs need replacing!

An independent BMW specialist has quoted £450.My question is now I do not have do stick with BMW for my now expired 3 year warranty,if I use an independent now will I have difficulty selling the car privately in the future or more importantly will I have trouble in part ex'ing my X5 for a new BMW in 2 years time?
