Welcome to the world of owning an expensive car 
If you think that just under 300 quid is expensive, you could be in for a shock at some of the "bigger" services your going to encounter
Most of what your looking at will be labour, your diff oil/gearbox oil is changed at 30k, you will have new spark plugs in there, that takes 40+ mins to do as you need to remove a few items in the engine bay to reach them, the engine/oil filter isnt a slow job and you will probably be charged 1 hrs labour for that, so looking at 4 hours labour plus parts, labour is normally around 35-40 and hour (more from a dealer sometimes ) so not bad really
