50k service items?

Bme30 · 12-08-2013, 02:17 PM

As the title stated what items is everyone replacing at 50k miles? I have been doing research and have seen the BMW I and II service intervals. Mainly just inspection.
What I'm wondering what are "you guys" replacing? Since we are all tuned with multiple mods most factory parts are going to wear out slightly faster

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm looking into replacing my:
1) oil filter housing gasket/heat exchanger gasket
2) intake valve cleaning
3) LPFP
4) water pump and thermostat.

Any thing I'm missing here? Should I do more? I plan on keeping this car for the next 5+ years. So a little $$$ spent now will hopefully keep her running tip top.
Thanks!

It's a good time for a transmission service if 6AT, Valve cover gasket, and good call with the low pressure it's probably getting tired. I'm replacing mine now at 52xxx. Valve cleaning as well

Is LPFP a serviced item? I thought we need to change it when it goes bad.

I'm a manual trans and changed that and my diff fluid at 45k miles.

As for my lpfp I'm replacing mine because I have logged my pressures dropping below 50psi while running 30% e85. I frequently get lean fault codes while running 93oct or e85.....just think the pump is on it's way out.
Enlighten me if I'm wrong?

You have a tired pump and are making the right call replacing it. It's easy work too since the replacement is a full bucket.

I hope that's my fix!

When I logged my lpfp it read low as well but it wAs just my low pressure fuel sensor and I had also got a code that read low pressure fuel system or something close to that but changed the sensor everything went back to normal

Bme30 · 12-08-2013, 09:55 PM

I already replaced all my fuel sensors. So I'm kinda leaning towards the lpfp. Along with my lean fault codes I get random cylinder misfires. My plugs have 8k miles on them.....and again the misfires are random. But whenever I get the misfires I get my 4 CEL flashes (lean fault).

If you are getting those codes when switching between 93 and ethanol you likely need to reset your fuel adaptations using INPA.

im at 51K. did the oil filter housing gasket a while ago. No feel of carbon build up yet.

I can just reset the adaptations with the jb4. I don't own and INPA cable. Isn't the reset with my jb4 going to be the same thing?

You can try, but in my experience some adaptations can only be reset via a high level diagnostic tool, like INPA.

This is pre-adaptation reset - http://datazap.me/u/lulzm3/e60-odd-f...13-14-15-16-21
