Most Germans have a set agenda when the car comes in for service, although predominately it is an "oil change" there are several other parts that are changed as a routine or precaution. Hence there would be certain other components that are part of this first service charge of 25k.

Reading this post 13 year later its still extremely hard to find a 550i, have heard there is one in pune finished in silver thats all, my friend has bought a 530i and that is a really fun car but the 530d still makes the best of both worlds to be honest! efficiency and performance.
