Regular Maintenance you can do yourself - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

What kind of regular Maintenance can you do yourself on the car before summer?

My car is at about 93,000 KM's it had a brand new tranny and clutch put in at 88,000 so no need to worry about the tranny.

What do you guys suggest I do before summer rolls along? I intend to track a lot this summer so I would like to do everything I can to be safe and keep the car running well. I do Oil changes every 10k as of right now.

New tranny under warranty, or you had it rebuilt?

If your going to the track then you might wanna do:
- Brake fluid flush
- Rotors
- Brake pads

Get a nice set of oil coolers and an FMIC to keep her reliable. Otherwise she'll heat up on you very quickly and it'll be big trouble....

Otherwise oil change every 5k km since you'll be tracking a lot.

Just make sure everything is running right and connected properly. My plumbing at the CP side popped off one time and caused boost leaks like crazy until I saw it had come off.

Thanks, I got the F1-R FMIC just gotta get Ivo to install it

Oil cooler eh? Which one do you recommend, I have the "sport" so it has the stock oil cooler, but it's crap I know...
