His recommendations are based on long term ownership of the car. I was using him as a reference because he is known to be more aggressive than BMW about maintenance intervals these days and you are doing plugs twice as often as even he recommends. No big deal though.

I gotch bro. I honestly had no clue who mike miller was. Now that you have shed some light on who he is, I'll look into. I don't mean to sound arrogant or cocky, just wanted to give info on my personal experiences with maint. Coming from american muscle cars and chevy trucks, I've only been with the bmw brand for a little over 3.5 yrs. I know they are completely different and some of my methods work for chevy's and may not work on bmw's. But I look at it as trial and error as well as a learning lesson. My philosophy has always been, if you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
