Oh and strike spark plugs off the list. They aren't going out before 36K. I have yet to have a BMW before 75K need new plugs.
Not quite.

My M6 had plugs at 22K, 37K, 59K and in the new engine at 77K.
$350 a pop if you are paying your own money.

Well must me an M thing. Of the 7 BMW's in the last 17 years, I have never pulled them prior to 75K. Gotta love the straight 6.
Did you do the work yourself or did you just trust what they said and you paid? ;-)
