What to look for and expect to change on my car

BMW Fanatic · 06-26-2013, 04:51 PM

Hey guys, so I have a 2011 E92 that I picked up in June 2011. It currently has 63XXXKM on it (40XXX~ miles). I had an inspection done around 43XXX and then the BMW check up at 50000. Both times they said everything is good to go. I wonder if they even check anything or just do a walk around and make sure nothing's leaking. Lol.

Anyhow, is there anything I should be upgrading or replacing or cleaning? Like shocks, struts, vanos solenoids etc..

All I've ever done on this car is oil changes, brake change, spark plug change and that's it. Oh wait, don't forget the blown engine at 12XXXKM.

Thanks everyone.

Are you talking about routine maintenance items or what?

How did you blow your engine, and honestly man. The manual gives very detailed info on when to do what. Cheers
