yeah, not surprised as long as you use top tier gasoline. My M3 had a strict diet of Shell V Power and BP Ultimate...I will not need to clean the injectors or valves until well have 100k.


My dealer NEVER upsells me. They're also one of the busier shops around, so they won't even have time to do any of the suggested work...lol
