At 60k I would change every fluid/filter in the car if it's not known whether it's been done before. Brake, clutch, coolant, steering, transmission, diff(s), transfer case (if applies), fuel filter (though we can't on the E90), engine air filter, cabin microfilter. I'm waiting for my Pentosin CHF-11S to arrive so I can do the steering, then I just have the transmission and diff left to change on my new-to-me E90. Plugs have also already been discussed. I was pretty happy with the price I found on Amazon ($71 for 6, free shipping in CONUS). You should probably also carefully inspect the belt and related components. Over in E39-land, a bunch of us would remove the idler pulleys and repack them with grease on a regular basis. On my 14 year old E39, the AC tensioner pulley never needed replacing and the tensioner pulley near the alternator only needed replacing once before I started this habit. I've used a stethoscope to listen to the pulleys on my 60k E90 and they sound pretty rough. Shockingly, the belt looks perfect, but I'll have to get it off to tell for sure.

lots of people here have had good luck with aftermarket rotors/pads. there is a ton of info here regarding that.
i used e-line r1concepts. no issues here. changing your trans fluid WILL make a difference. i was pleasantly surprised when i went royal purple synchro max in my trans. i used RP in the diff and castrol in the engine as well. she purrs if you are at all inclined to DIY, these are pretty easy things to do, and there are alot of DIY guides out there. i have no probs using ebay special parking brake shoes... after all, they are only used when stopped(i also have mine modded...) i am pushing 90000km... 50-55k miles. will probably do the coolant and power steering fluid this summer. |

I'm at 55k, the dealer this week just did my coolant flush, clean fuel injectors before the summer hits (I should have done it at an indy shop, much cheaper and it wasn't covered under maintenance warranty). Brake pads, rotors changed last year, all fluids changed/refilled last year, all the other little maintenance renewed/changed except belts, water pump, thermostat, plugs and coils. I'd like to do those now but I'll wait maybe until summer ends. Credit card bills need to be paid off for now.
And I bring my car in modded except for the intake and I have no tune, dealer doesn't mind for everything else. |

Another thing that I just found out about couple days ago, P/S fluid is special from 2006+ on bmws so get that from dealer don't use stuff from autozone either.
Actually to be safe, I get all my fluids from dealer. At least you know your not fin stuff up.

Take a good hard look at your suspension bushings and ball joints. My thrust arm bushings were leaking and needed replacing around 65k.

Exterme abuse the so called money shift
Exterme abuse the so called money shift
That would cause timing chain failure. I guess this only apply s to manuals but downshifting with the car at redline rpm's was the instance I saw or skipping a gear downshifting like from 6th to second . The other maintenance item that is kind of crime with the DI engines is the valve carbon build up. And all DI cars get this for a used BMW this would apply to the 335 only. |

I'm usually rolling at about 60 to 70 already and about at 4-5K rpm. I never downshift close enough to the redline where id need to shift as soon as I gas it

Would i really need to replace the cabin air filter? i hardly use AC only heater. What signs would be a good indicator of needing replacement on the water pump? lately my car has been acting pretty weird with the radiator fan turning on randomly at idles, would this also be a sign of needing that coolant flush? i contacted him for an oil filter but no response yet

My car only went to limp mode twice, once was running my car super hard and the other was my friend blowing out my secondary cats lol scary as fck! So the fan randomly turning on counts somewhere in that margin of failing water pump? Or is it from coolant changing needed? My cars fan only turns onwhen I'm about to park in the garage, but usually it turns on after a long freeway run/drive

You're doing the sparkplugs- do the cabin filter. I got one from amazon for like $12 shipped. Why not?

I generally prefer Mann filters (oil, air, cabin, etc..) and I've just installed a Mann cabin filter with charcoal. |
