Going back to OP's post.. I think this is what he is asking..
The car has about 60K and he has replaced / Fixed the following
(1) cracked vacuum lines
(2) injectors
(3) HPFP
(4) DVD Unit
Now he is recommended to change "thrust arm bushings", this is normal at 60K? (I am not counting cracked rims or oil change)

My disc is an original OEM disc. I burned a copy of my disc as an ISO for a friend that bought a car without a disc. Would that have affected my unit?

It could be the module i had the same problem where it constantly froze the navi.
Had it replaced under factory warranty.
You should try different dealership. They might just do verything under cpo.
Which stealers u going to right now??

My Ride: See signature
I've got an '05 545i with just over 72K miles on it. Outside of normal and routine maintenance items, battery, tires, brakes, oil changes, brake fluid flush, etc., the only thing that has gone bad on it was the coil on one cylinder resulting in the car misfiring. Of course, all of those routine maintenance items are a lot more expensive on a BMW than any other car I have owned.

My Ride: 545i Sport
Model Year: 2004
Engine: N62
Let me see, at 124K miles-- Fixed leaks (alternator bracket mount gasket, timing cover l and r gaskets, valve cover l and r gaskets, vacuum pump gasket), new set of spark plugs, transmission oil and filter/pan with mechatronic sleeve change-- all for $700, labor only. I spent more on repairs on my Maxima than my 545i. The mods are . . . that's a different story.
