I don't consider anything under 50k miles as worth worrying about.
There's hardly ever any significant work before 80k, and usually nothing major before 150k - which is usually when you start to get 'groups' of things that need fixing.
Unless you plan on going to the dealer for all the minor maintenance along the way - in which case, get the lube.
Just think about all the old M's driving around with over 100k on the clock.
They're usually not operated by the richest people, and those folks can afford to daily them.
The key is to NOT pay 'more money than brains cash' for dealer work, when your typical mom n' pop shop can maintain your car for much less.

good advice, but there is a shortage of Mom and Pop shops in the semi rural area that I live in.
