2008 135i at 94k miles, red service light on startup.. what to service?

[Dekdo]

Bought the car with 92000, Ive seen the yellow lift icon, but now on startup it just shows service in red. I’m assuming this is a normal scheduled maintenance interval... but what is it really recommending I have checked out? Is it more for an inspection or? It also shows like 2/17 -2200 mls... so I’m assuming I’m that many miles “overdue”

You can get the basic information for Service Requirements by using the toggle buttons on the turn indicator lever.

I'm pretty sure he's asking what needs to be done for the service.

I'll tell you what everyone else will tell you: consult Mike Miller's Maintenance Schedule: https://redirect.viglink.com/?format...2520v03.13.pdf

That will depend on what the computer thinks has been done. Even an oil change needs to be added to the computer each time it's done, or you will get the service indicator red alert. Since he bought the car at 92,000 miles, he probably doesn't have the service records.

The best way is to take it to a dealer, and have them read the fob. That combined with a visual inspection may indicate gasket, fluid leaks or rubber component deteriation.

Yeah I’ll probably just have to take them in to see, hopefully no charge just to check...

My history from what I have been able to gather:
Coolant flushed / changed at 54,332
Coolant flushed / changed at 56,253
Water pump replaced at 56,253
Thermostat replaced at 56,253
Oxygen sensor replaced at 68,429
Inspection completed at 69,796
Inspection completed at 72,019
Drive belt and tensioner relaxed at 72,019
Drive belt replaced at 72,019
Oil and filter changed at 72,019
Oil pan gasket replaced at 72,019
Engine serviced at 72,019
Inspection completed at 84,693
Oil and filter, air filters, changed at 84,693

Index 12 injectors, ecu, FMIC, downpipes, plugs, and coils Installed somewhere between 85-92k, and oil change at 92k

Recalls likely still need to be done:
Driver side air bag
Blower motor wiring

Oil Filter Housing gasket, valve cover gasket may be next.
