I bought my 540i off a lease ( 2020 540i) I just got my first oil change and they are trying to tell me I need to do spark plugs, fuel induction, and coolant flush.

Spark plugs I can change myself, and I know how to check for those.

Me being new to the g30 platform coming from a e46 m3 and n55 335 I wasn’t sure about the fuel induction and coolant flush so I declined and asked for a price and told them I would think about it.

Anyone out there what’s your advice If these are truly needed?

Coolant might be able to wait another year or two. Plugs are typically changed at 60k.
Based on miles, most experts recommend (assuming you are keeping the car long term) to change the transmission, transaxle and differential fluids at either 50k or 60k.

So you may want to save all this to 60k and do it then. A 2020 will be due for brake fluid in 2025 as well. So maybe everything will come up next year?

Yeah my car does tell me brake fluid is due August so might split it up and do half at once and the other half later. I do plan to keep the car long term so I want to maintain it as bmw recommends
