Which on a Beemer, is almost unnecessary. New German cars just don't need servicing like American cars. My Crossfire (which was essentially a Mercedes) didn't need any servicing until 100,000 miles... and even that wasn't a big service. Again, it all goes back to what's important to you. I'd never be caught dead driving a Honda. They're nice cars,extremely well built, but they're cars for people who hate cars. Everyone and their sister owns one. But I understand why people buy them. It's all about priorities... everyone has their own very different ones. And for that, I'm thankful!

Very well-said!
