I am going to be going on a long road trip in late June with my son. I have just about 20,000 on a 2010 E92/N54. I was going to do an oil change at 22,500, but decided to go ahead and do it before I leave whatever the mileage. Would it be a good idea to change plugs, and is there any other routine maint. that I should perform?

I am driveing to Yellowstone and Glacier Nat. parks from So Cal. Figure about 2,700 miles all told in a couple of weeks.

no reason to change plugs.. unless you are heavily modded, then maybe. give the air filter a peek too.

I have a DCI, but a visual inspeciton reveals the filters are clean. Looked at a K&N website, and they claim cleaning is warranted at 50,000 miles.

That's way too long, you need to soak, clean and re-oil every 10k miles. I do it more but I would def. reccommend atleast every 10k.

OK, I got a K&N cleaning kit, and I will get the oil changed prior to my departure. Anything else that I should service, replace or check?

maybe check your brake pads, beside that you're definitely fine...

dont over-oil the filter either.

check all fluids and like he said brakes...but since you only have 20k you should be more than ok unless you have been beating on it pretty hard. I wish I had 20k miles. Im at 50..

Actually...i just had a blowout on my right rear tire. PLEEEASE check your tires before you leave. That was a costly mistake. I tried to get more miles than I should have outta them. I wont make the mistake again, it was a 500 dollar one!
