Wow, with 400 miles left? You got lucky. I'm assuming they are probably just going to do 1 side right? From everything I've read, the other bank is just a ticking time bomb unfortunately.

They wanted 650$ to change the sparkplugs and I did them on my own for 150$ and took just an hour. So beats me why they are charging 650$ for doing this job :-(.

I'll be glad to do a DIY, but I might need a little help first. I saw some members on here were getting billed (under warranty) for thousands of dollars and that just doesn't make any sense. People are doing the job in 3-5 hours, while BMW is calling it an 8.5 hour job for the V10's.
Can anyone help me find the TIS for this job? Something to guide me in the right direction? I think while I'm in there, I might as well change the sparkplugs and do the air filter.
