Maintenance/Service Question
I recently purchased a 1M with about 7,500 mi. Added about 500 miles since purchase. Seller performed a dealer oil service @7,400 miles. I am not usually a fan of BMW dealer service, but the airbag recall has not been done. So if I bring it to BMW, what other service/PM items do you recommend to be performed? Seller did not keep service records. Fluid changes? Software updates? Key fob OBD fix?
Any advice would be appreciated. |

The list of maintenance items is otherwise long and you'd need to know what was done and what wasn't...IMO.

concur 100% with nachob
Also, the other recall that applies is the battery connector... make sure this was (or gets) done. Battery Cable Connector Recall for BMW 1 Series (E8X), 3 Series (E9X), Z4 (E89) BMW Safety Recalls

I didn't know BMW made Techron fuel cleaner. Is this a dealer special?

They're just relabeling Chevron Techron. Literally....much cheaper and easier to just buy Techron at a gas station....lol

And while coolant is a good idea, BMW dealers are really hesitant - especially do to it right (and get it all flushed). But you should still do it. Just don't waste your money on the trans and diff fluids. And if you email Mike Miller, he will send you his lifetime maintenance schedule.
