Well again talking personally with my service manager-he told me on every one of his own cars he changes the plugs at 50k and gets oil changes at 5k-they are bimmers. So clearly the recomendations from bmw are to save money.

I would go with the rule-change plugs at 50 and oil every 5 if you plan to keep your cars. He said something like every dollar spent of maintence saves you 25 dollars of repair dodwn the line. Not sure how he came up with that but interesting!
