My 04 545i is at the dealer for spark plugs. Yup, I have 100K miles, but it still runs great. They had to keep it overnight, because thy had difficulty getting to the two rear plugs. But... what do you think they charged me for new plugs?
A. $200
B. $300

Have you seen that thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...;show=&st=0 ?

Actually it is very easy as you think. Only with the right tools and patience.

Well if you have the sunday off i would say use the money to buy the tools and do it yourself its fun. But if not just a regular Bmw independent shop can replace it for you a lot cheaper than the dealer. I did my tune on my 545 75k already and yes the last two are difficult just takes some time thats all good luck.
