my recommendation to you is that you find a great independent shop that accepts your warranty and utilize them instead of the stealership. Otherwise, you will see them plenty of times. The stealership only fixes it when it fails. A good independent can point it all out before it does.
Forgot to mention I supplied the parts including oil.

My Ride: 2008 535i LCI with sports/premium package, Sports trans with paddle shifters, CF emblems, JB4 Software, Dinan Exhaust, Navigation, M5Tech body kit, Carbon wrap interrior trim and CIC Controller.
I'm thinking 120 is not that bad considering 6 qt oil, filter, cabin filters x2. Not sure what these cabin filters cost but need to change mine according to the maintenance schedule. I'm thinking 15 -20 a piece but I really have no idea. The best way though is to change your own oil. It's very simple and consider changing mid point and then again when due along with resetting indicator.

120 sounds great for all that work.

Keep in mind when Paran did the comparison from OEM from dealer and what he thought was OEM from same source but purchased from Amazon (MANN). They are not the same even though they both come from MANN. The OEM has much better filtering properties.
