Motors brush replacement for M60

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Many reviewers mention that the motors in the M60 are brushed motors. This should increase the car's sustainability and improve the motors' behaviour at high speeds.

My car is still in Germany, so I do not have the maintenance schedule manual. Could anyone please check how often the motor brushes should be changed? I'm thinking that this service and any battery service will likely be the most expensive ones - but I have no information on them.

Thanks in advance.

See below. Article is about the iX M60, but I’m sure recommendation is the same (at least 186,000 miles before replacement needed).

Hopefully it won't be that expensive. The brush module costs around $100 and should last a long time.
