So my 325 has been fixed up from the hail treatment it received in Feb and has just ticked over 100,000km.

Was wondering what you guys recommend I get done and I came up with this list from a thread back in 2011.

Spark plugs - Never been done on my car so I think this is necessary
Air filter - Changed recently, not required
Brake fluid - Required, just came up on the service computer and have noticed brakes have gotten a little spongey?
oil + filter - Done every 10-15km
Transmission flush + filter change - Unsure on this? Any feedback on people who have done it and cost?
Replace diff oil - Unsure
Replace cabin filter - Unsure
Replace fuel filter - Unsure
Replace coolant - Unsure
Replace power steering fluid - Unsure
Waterpump/Thermo - Was done prior to me getting car at about 60km.
Wheel alignment

Anything else you guys can shed some light on?

Thanks!

Bump?

I didn't do anything special at my 100k service tbh just plugs, brake pads etc as required. Just get done the things that are due or have not been done for a while and you should be fine

Transmission fluid is one up for debate some peeps say they had problems after doing this but most agree it won't last the lifetime of the car. I'll get mine done when I put in a LSD

Change serpentine belt to air con. Also check belt tensioner and idler bearing while you're there.

the transmission fluid change is the one that really has me on the fence. Not sure if necessary and so much conflicting info on the web

Are you auto or manual? The mechatronics sealing sleeve is known to leak and seep fluid which could cause all sorts of trouble. That would require new fluids and a pan whilst you're at it.

Hi! I have a n52b30 engine and the ga6l45 automatic transmission. I'm about to have a service done, and I'm gonna let bmw change the transmission fluid and filter. I've read that it could be a good idea to also change the sealing sleeve. Read about the zf transmissions having problems with leakage. But does the ga6l45 automatic suffer from the same weakness regarding the sealing sleeve or is it a zf problem? My car has just passed 100 000 km. Kind regards Andreas, Sweden. (I have a e84, but since it's built from the e90 I hope it's ok for me to post in this forum)

I'd definitely change it as the only way to access it is with the pan removed. The part will warp from the heat of the exhaust (it's made of plastic) and eventually start leaking.
