30k Service
30k Service is up in a month or so... right before warranty ends later this year.
What goodies should I ask them to do besides the norm? wipers? brakes?

Power steering fluid, diff oil, trans oil if 6MT (and maybe even DCT if you can get them to), coolant if you've never flushed it, engine air filter, cabin microfilter, and spark plugs. They'll likely tell you that you can wait longer on all of those or never do them at all (and thus Ultimate Service won't cover it), but remember that advice comes from the school of 15K oil changes.
Brakes are a condition-based wear item. Take a look at the pads, replace them if needed, don't if not needed. Same with wipers. If they make a lot of noise while sweeping the windshield and/or leave water streaks, replace them. Otherwise, they're fine. Mike Miller's Old School BMW Maintenance Schedule is a great reference if you intend to keep the car longer-term. I keep a list of all maintenance items with the mileage and/or time intervals they should be performed if you want it; it's largely based on Mike Miller's list but of course filtered down just for E9x M3 items.

I know spark plugs recommended every 35k orso but iI can tell you iveI've logged data every 70k plus miles at varying age of plugs and after 15k it becomes almost impossible to hit max timing. Plugs for this car aren't just plugs but they regulate timing by being the measurement tool for knock. It uses the current between plug to measure this and thus any little deposits start to effect that signal...
So every 15 k is what I do. Probably lose 10-15 HP if you don't change based on being about 3 degrees less timing on average. I agree normally changing plugs this often would be silly but since they are measuring ionic currentand that is what dictates ignition retardation, its really a sensor too . I also change air filter every 5-10 |
