Servic before loooong trip with (80,000)ml

Jo3_E90 · 09-17-2014, 11:11 AM

I'm back! I have been busy with work and wedding stuff, and was thinking to sell my E90 but now I'm keeping it

so now to my question

Q: I will be doing a long trip to CT next weekend will be about 16hr drive, any recommendation on what service should I do, so I can be ready to roll.

Thank you for the support!

If the round trip is farther than your next oil change, then change the oil early. Other than that, inflate tires to the correct pressure (but you keep them at the correct pressure all the time, right?), and check all the fluid levels (normal stuff you'd do just to keep driving around town...)

Enjoy the trip.

Wife was out of town with the kids.
Decided to go for a 9 hour drive each direction for a few days.

Man I hate my front bumper upon return.
Rock chips..... Urhhh.

I was told afterwards, that's why you rent a car.

But I thoroughly enjoyed driving it.

Blue painters tape the whole front end and half way up the hood. Also side mirror covers.
Top off washer fluid. Extra quart or two of oil in the trunk. Tire inflation machine just in case/fix a flat.
