So I just hit 60k and my service reminder has come up. within the past 3k miles I've changed my oil, coolant, and cabin air filter. from what 'ive read the 60k is spark plugs, cabin filter, and mostly and inspection of lines and for rust. is their anything else that's done? I think the plugs/coil packs were changed previously because of a shadow code saying misfire on several cylinders, and holding off until I decide if I got pure stage 2.

on a side note, I found a shop, not neccessarily popular but great reviews, that will do the pure stage 2 for $3,200 all in if purchased from them (install, kit, inlet, and of course turbo), am I being tight by holding off? seems like a great deal from what I've priced around, just hard for me spend that much at once. had this same problem debating on my coilovers for my G35 and had to have my brother hit the "checkout" button in my cart, lol.

You can change "lifetime fluids" such as transmission and diff, if you want to start a debate about whether or not transmission should be changed at ~62k miles per ZF or if you should assume it is "lifetime" per BMW (which supposedly may mean 100k miles).

EDIT: Should also do brake fluid flush every ~2 years if not done recently.

Coil packs are 100k miles. Misfire could just be plugs themselves? They are 60k miles.

ATF as well. Especially since you intend on tuning the vehicle

does it being a manual change the tranny fluid change interval? basically I need to change my trans fluid and when I figure out whether or not to go ps2 I'll do the plugs... also, what do you guys think about shocks at 60k, should be about ready to be replaced too right?

I would not do shocks as maintenance - that is a step too far. How about the wheel bearings then? Save your money for a methkit to go with the ps2
