PSSST, if you listen closely when they pull you over they're telling you "Give PJ your M5 mirrors, they look great!" Until you do they will keep pulling you over. Just trying to help out bro.

I had "few" 
problems with my 3.0d :
1. replaced turbo charger (on 168kkm)
2. replaced engine due injector fault and cylinder has burnt down.
booth this events happens on the trip from Latvia to Italy and back, a year ago, still remember how it was. Car was serviced only by BMW service before.
Plus other some small replacements, like new generator, front wind shield (twice), new ACC sensor (has been stolen), snubber of vibrations, flowmeter.
And nothing else...
Car now 200kkm.

I thought I heard more than that. Those ball busting cops also mention stuff like M-Tech kit and front lip. I told them to check out this site because any of those items can be in classified one of these days. Just be patient and start saving up.
