Good advice: NEVER buy BMW parts from their parts counter on consumables like brakes or spark plugs. They don't make these parts, they have an OEM private label them BMW for them.

Their spark plugs are 2x more than the same Bosch version without the "B M W" stamped on the ceramic. Their rotors are Zimmerman. Transmission ZF, etc etc.

You can get the same "BMW" quality buying those parts elsewhere, and not paying the BMW premium. If you choose their parts counter, at least stock up on free coffee and snacks if they offer it to ease the pain a bit.
