I'm probably going to keep doing all maintenance work myself.
Anyone else?

While I do not blindly trust dealer recommendations on older cars that are outside prepaid maintenance / warranty periods, I think bolded part is a bit paranoid. I lease my M4 so not worried about dealer maintenance during lease period. My wife's 5+ year Audi is owned and I find they try to sell services that aren't needed when taking it in for maintenance or recalls (change belts before needed, try to sell new tires before needed, etc.) but haven't seen them break anything.
