Okay so I'm about 9000 klms away from hitting the magic 100,000 klm mark on my n54. I've always changed the oil every 7-10K, plugs every 25-35K, diff oil every 30-40K and the tranny oil was done at 50K. Brake fluid was done once by the $tealer

Need to work out what things should be done for the major 100K service so I can get the parts in from OS.

Oil
Plugs
Brake Fluid
Tranny Oil, Pan & Filter
Diff oil
Rear Pads (cause they are due)

Has anyone in Aus done any valve cleaning? The US threads seam to be suggesting this is a major issue in older mileage cars.

I'll probably get Steve to do most of it but am not sure where to send it for the tranny service, any ideas?

Definitely do valve clean. This was from an 08 car with way less than 100k.

Import some Seafoam mate - that's what they all seem to use?

Subaru's upper engine cleaner is the same stuff, just need to hit up my mate who is dealer principle of one and grab a couple of bottles.

Car is with BMW as the f**king HPFP died yet again..... I asked them if CBS could be updated so every 15000klm the car tells me I need a new HPFP.... did not go down well.

Ha! I bet.

Strange that some N54's churn through HPFP's and BMW still haven't got to the bottom of it. I heard the subaru stuff valve cleaner is a good substitute, so keen to hear how it goes.

There's only one solution to all this though... an X6M....
