2009 328xi AT 60k service

SilentAttack · 06-23-2012, 04:09 PM

Ok I have looked all over the place and can find tons on 60k service for the older models of the 328 and 325 but nothing for the 2009 328xi. I have read that some of the fluids are "life time" but not sure if its a good idea to never change them. Does anyone have a guide or a specific list of what needs to be changed at 60k?

Thanks for the help E90!!

BMW's recommendation is only for an Inspection service every 30k so one is due at 60k. This replaces the E46 Inspection I & II sequence and includes visual, electrical & mechanical checks and a road test. Any other service (oil change, brake fluid, etc.) would be CBS or time based.

And BMW considers the other fluids to be "lifetime", but many folks feel that this is about the time for coolant, transmission & differential fluid changes.

So I changed the oil cabin filter and got some spark plugs.. Is this good enough for 60k?
