So far had problems with the alternator and ignition coil, but those were replaced FOC as still during warranty period. Since then, I have had just one regular service (after warranty period), which cost me around RM500 I think. I also chose to change spark plugs at around RM400.25,000km doesn't just apply to the E60 but to most modern bimmers. I have never tested that limit though. I always change at 10,000km (for my E46). But I do low mileage so takes me about 10 months to reach that mark.But in general, I would say that given the premium of a BMW, the service is relatively acceptable. Yes, even a small part can cost 4 figures, maybe even 5, but for that to happen would be real bad luck on your side. Normal wear and tear parts are no different than any other premium marque.</blockquote>
