Proper BMW maintenance?!

B3ZKONTROLU · 11-06-2009, 12:37 PM

Good day ladies and gents,

Wanted to ask you a few questions regarding maintenance...

I bought my '03 325i last August with 35K miles on in... Been traveling a lot over the past year, ended up putting another 25K on it! Now, I haven't done any major maintenance outside of oil changes and a new set of tires... Is there anything I ought to do? Or anything I should consider looking in to within next few thousand miles?

Thanks!

You may want to search here for "Inspection I" and "Inspection II" for a list of items that BMW recommends be checked. You may also want to read up in your owners manual how the maintenance computer in your car works.

BMW recommends brake fluid be flushed every 2 years and engine coolant every 4 years.

How are the brakes?

I just had an alignment done about a month ago. The gentleman who was doing the alignment told me that my breaks were in a very good shape and still had plenty of live in them.
