My engine had just over 100k miles on it.

My sister's X3 with the M54 would rust the dipstick to the dipstick tube...
No flame intended Brother; it just sounded like the guys over in the E90 Forum who preach WP/T-stat replacements every 50,000 miles.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
