So my free maint is running out soon. Any specific area I should give to the dealer to check on? Coincidentally, my washer fluid warning came on today, so that'll definitely get done.

I wanted to get my oil change done, but I have 3300 miles left, think they'll do it?

I'm in the same boat too, '06 with just under 10k miles. I plan to bring it in and get whatever service I can.

If you've never had your brakes replaced, I would advise that you buy an extended maintenance package from your dealer, now. They will probably quote you about $2500 for it, but you should not pay more than $1500-1600 for it. Yes, it is negotiable. A brake job alone will cost you about $1400 at the dealer, so think about that. G/L

If it's been 12 months since the last oil change - it can be covered under maintenance plan regardless of miles on iDrive. Same on the windshield wiper refills - if it's been a year, tell the SA they streak and they'll replace them.

Agreed, they replaced mine n/p after 1 yr since the last time I got new wiper blades. I would suggest a general check up, go through the iDrive and see what says it's close and get that done. Then looks at the brake fluid, antifreeze, brakes and anything else that may concern you. If it's possible to get the extended maint coverage - do it. They only give you a certain amount of time before they won't even sell you that anymore.
