30K Service E92 6MT....

Sam_335i · 05-18-2010, 05:01 PM

Since I know the dealer is not going to change certain fluids, what fluids should I change at the 30k mark. Besides the differential fluid, should I be concerned about the transmission for my manual? Any help/advice/experiences would be appreciated.

You should flush out your cooling system and if you want even your transmission fluid but I would wait until 50k mile to change your trans fluid unless you are an agressive driver.

I do plan on the 1/2 life major fluid changes - 6MT, Diff, PWR STR, Coolant, Fuel filter.
.
Been changing oil every 5k and expecting the dealer to change brake fluid pads & rotors and plugs at 45k.
