Hello everyone,

I have heard a lot about this 100K mile service... my question is what's included in the 100K mile service?

I know spark plugs are included in the service... does anyone know what else?

Thanks!

i went to check my idrive just because i was curious and see if anything i could find. oil change, vehicle check, brakes, and probably another microfilter change depending when was the prior one im guessing. maybe brake fluid is due sometime soon if youre driving that much. im just guessing.

As Nerweezy said go check your I - Drive . God Kids these days lol.
But seariously it will tell you everything that is due. and anything that isnt serviceable no way of telling.
You may need a particle filter at that mileage.

I get the sense from talking to an area BMW service specialist that they are plenty of things that *should* be done to your car that will never show up in the iDrive. For instance they recommended to me:
- Annual hydraulic flush
- Power steering system flush (30k intervals)
- Cooling system componet service - no specific mileage mentioned but if you have all original components at 100k, you might want to closely inspect everything.

Personally I'm trying to figure out when an auto trans service is appropriate.

the transmissions have from what i know life time grade oil!
and the brake fluid will show up after 2 years,
never heard of the power steering flush!!!! that is well over the top i would say.
there is no said interval on the cooling system. They will give the coolant a test to see its efficent enough if not give you a recommendation

Yeah that all makes sense. W/ regard to the cooling system I was thinking more of checking or wear of the hoses, etc...

I'd bet the oxygen sesnors are on the list. The e39 has them on its 100K mile list and I suspect that is true for the e60 and many other cars. Figure the dealer will charge about $150 per sensor, cheaper if you do it youreslf or at an independent shop. I am not sure how many you have, the e39 six has 4.
