I'm reaching the 50k mark and I'm reading up on doing plugs/coils at 50k as well as an ATF drain and fill.

I requested a quote from an Indy shop for the ATF drain and fill and they said ~$900. I think I'll end up doing this myself.
For the plug and coil, it is very easy!

Just have to remove the engine coverS! Especially the ones close to the windshield, you also want to remove the cross bar... The preparation step is the most time consuming (the first time around).

Plugs to be changed at 30k for 328i and 60k miles for the 335i
The coils will be expensive and i believe you can do them much later at 100k.

Be sure to get the thin wall plug socket.
