I'm still within the 48k miles, or was it 50k, "free" maintenance. Unfortunately, the 48 months has long passed.

You got some good life out of the Axxis/Zimmerman combo!

I think highway miles, especially the first 20k, and having driven manuals before getting the e53 automatic has helped me be on track to get about 55k miles out of the first set. That may not ever happen at the rate I'm putting on the miles now
