60,000 mile service???

sageashton · 11-18-2008, 04:57 PM

I am up for my 60K service and I was wondering if they (BMW) actually DO anything or if it is just an inspection?

Here is what I am planning on replacing myself, in addition to oil changes every 10k:

Spark Plugs

Fuel Filter

Drive Belt

Gearbox Oil

Microfilter

Brakes all around.

Is there anything else I should replace that you can think of? And if I do it all that is there really anything BMW needs to inspect? I drive a 2006 325i.

Doesn't it say in the manual?

Not that I can find...

spark plugs 100k
fuel filter 100k
drive belt check for cracking, replacement probably not yet required
microfilter and brakes have CBS data for replacement- check your mileage until due through your service function

Great! Thanks man! Does that mean that I need to do the gearbox oil?
