Good morning members!

There is the possibility I will visit the dealer just for Progman upgrade and nothing more.

My E60 has 52k km (35k miles) now. Are you able to tell me what will it need till 120-130-150k km? (80-100k miles)

A pair of oil changes, rotors, pads, plugs in 50k km, microfilters every X kilometres, brake liquid every 12-18 months.. Other things?

Hoping nothing serious will decide to break (engine, transmission, clutch - any experience on clutch replacement on SMG cars?)

The use I will do? Highway at 100 mph, just highway for 90% or outside city roads.

Basically, would be enough to check the service menu and servicing those voices when check message comes up?

88k miles so far, and just oil changes and "vehicle checks" per the normal schedule. iDrive says I don't need brakes for another 25k miles front and 40k miles rears. However, I'm getting a little wobble in the steering wheel upon braking so I might have a rotor out of round. Dealer says they will replace brakes at the 100k checkup (I purchased the extended maintenance contract). Clutch (manual transmission) might be getting a little weak and hope to get this replaced as well at 100k.

So, the dealer won't repair the rotors until the 100k service?

It just started to wobble, and haven't been in to have it checked out. I'm not positive it's the rotor, as it seems to come and go.
