All of my items have been covered under warranty or will good will (after 50K.)

Changing engine oil, microfilter, and detail vehicle check came out to almost $800.

Wow, good thing I purchased the extended maintenance!

I had many minor issues(rattle from dashboard, leakage from coolant hose and radiator, rear view transmitter malfunction, and so on. All was covered by the warranty) but not any major ones yet.

They found a leakage from the washer fluid tank and quoted me $500 estimated price to change that little plastic fluid container. I told them to forget about it. Anybody knows any decent bodyshop in LA area where they can fix it at more reasonable price???

You got robbed at $800. Sounds like you were at Inspec 2 on it if you were close to 60K miles. Yeah, you need to go an an indy instead of the dealer once you are out of warranty. I'm sure you can google one in your area---most metro areas there are indy European shops.

Try this indy shop call BMW Specialist at Beach and Warner in Huntington Beach area. I see you from OC, so this shop should be near by your place. Good luck.

Keep in mind that was mainly highway mileage so has less wear and tear than if that were city mileage. The E70 is a good platform... just not as easy to work on as the E53 for some things just by advancement of design.

it's little harder to work on then the E53.
MY 2007 E70 had about 73k miles on it
