Cdea · 10-21-2015, 02:58 PM

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say hello. I just picked up a 2011 e90 M3 DCT with 49k miles from carmax. So far driving it is awesome! as of now it will remain stock since both the wife and i drive it, but we all say that in the beginning. here's a photo. thanks again.

thanks. I did have an oil change done since i don't know the last time it was completed. the oil was really clean so it may have been fairly recent. however the shop did see some sediment and mentioned maybe looking into the rod bearings. they recommended doing the blackstone analysis after running 5000 miles on this new oil. i don't know if i should just get the bearings done as a preventative thing or let the warranty take care of it if something should happen. other than that i lucked out with new rotors, pads and tires when i bought it.

Yeah car max is pretty good about cars in good shape. my pads, rotors, and tires were either new or like new. I feel you on the bearing stuff too, I'm debating doing the preventative maintenance or just letting the warranty I paid for do it's job. For now, I'm not going to worry about it and hope for the best until closer to the expiration date.

Yeah im leaning more towards letting the warranty handle it as of now. i guess ill see how bad it is after the oil analysis on my next oil change.
