My Ride: 2006 530xiT, Sep. 2005 build, silver gray/gray/black anthracite, Steptronic, Premium, Premium Sound, NAV, PDC.
Model Year: 2006
Some interesting news in the June 2006 Roundel (Magazine of the BMW CCA), p. 42: A former BMW dealer tech reports that BMW's policy on scheduled maintenance allows slightly early service: 2,000 miles before oil change, 4,000 miles before brake service, oxy sensor, 4 months before brake fluid and coolant, 4,000 mi before 100,000 for spark plugs and ATF fluid. So get that ATF and sparks done before 100,000 - even a little after and they may deny free services.
