Maybe the answer is " nothing"
From the silly questions department: Just passed 100k on my '10 E90. My first BMW (all too late in life) and best daily driver, ever. I did all the scheduled maintenance through 50 K, had my rotors worked on, then just kept changing oil and filters until now. It runs like a champ.
In fact, I finally figured out what makes me want to just keep driving this car, when I'd typically have new car fever by now: It drives like the day I bought it. Should I be focused on any further service items, or just watch to see if / when any sensors tell me otherwise? I do have one issue. A light bulb error message. I have a hairline crack in one lens cover, but all,of my lights work properly What say ye? |

At the very least change the fluids and replace with fresh OEM fluid. They are absolutely not lifetime fluids.

Check ZF literature for recommended service intervals. at 100K, you are way overdue. There is NO such thing as 'lifetime' fluid on these cars. |

What E90 is it and what transmission type?
__________________
A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

You may even start considering looking at your suspension components and checking to see if they are still in good condition, like bushings, ball joints, axles/boots, dampers, etc. Also check alignment.
