Time has come and I just scheduled 100K service for my 530i. Do you guys have any advice for what should I ask for and what to expect from this service. Car has no issues other than little vibration on the highway and my guess is that I have a bent wheel or wheels.

is it aftermarket wheels? if so could need hubcentric rings. just ask them what is included, it should be all the fluids changed, spark plugs and all that. they should also check your brakes and stuff as well

That vibration could be wheel balancing dude...

I'd also change all your filters.... fuel filter, transmission filter (there should be one....), in cabin filter, etc. Don't forget to change your power steering fluids too.

I took car to local Good Year service to get wheels, balance checked on Saturday. They said that wheels and tires and balance is fine. If that's the case what else could be causing vibration? By the way wheels are stock. Taking the car in tomorrow morning for service.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread, just want to find out more about service maintenance...

'06 550 has approximately 53K miles. Notice the "service light due" warning, would like to find out more on what kind of maintenance service requires at 53K miles?

Thanks
