1 Year/30K miles for the Air Filter?! Is required annual change or recommend? Most of 1M(s) have 3K/year avg mileage...
Don't get me started on the water pump and other things...
I was under impression it will save me time researching internet on maintenance dyi, not the case here...
In essence, I am comparing this to Acura Maintenance Book, a comprehensive owner dyi manual... this E82 manual far and away from it
In summary, seems like a waste of $50

Sorry you don't like the book.
Regarding the oil:

07 51 0 017 866 SAE 5W-30
This book is based off regular driving. Not really intended for users who never drive their cars. You should seek a specialist in preserving and maintaining the car if it is never driven.
This was never stated as a manual or DIY book, it is designed as a convenient way to log your information.
Thanks!
