Got my n55 335i

katatonia · 06-07-2016, 01:58 PM

My 2011 335i has 86000kms on it. What preventative maintenance should I look at doing? I'm planning on changing oil and spark plugs this weekend. When should I do the water pump/thermostat?

Sparks, coils, walnut, motor oil, rotors, pads. If its a manual, new tranny fluid.

Is it actually worth replacing all the coils? I figured I would just do those as they started showing signs of problems

Definitely don't waste your time replacing individual coils as they fail. The part is, what, $30? Just front the ~$200 to do all six and drive trouble-free for a long time thereafter.

Drive it and enjoy the fact that you don't need to buy new turbos every 80,000 miles.

Should I be looking to replace the turbos on an N54 at 80k?
