1200 Mile Service (Updated List)

rbk1115 · 03-26-2009, 01:26 PM

I'm getting close to scheduling my 1200 mile service. Does anybody have the official updated list on what gets replaced at this time? I have heard that BMW changes it every now and then. I just want to be prepared when I go and talk to the SA, etc. Thanks.

My new E93 is about halfway there, and I just confirmed with my service manager that the list of items is still the same as listed in the manual, contrary to certain reports on various BMW internet forums.

Engine oil
6MT Transmission Oil, DCT is NOT changed
Differential Oil
Microfilter

All are changed.

Engine oil
M6 Transmission Oil

Microfilter

All are changed.

Thanks for the information. I want to cover all the bases so I don't get any dealer BS, etc.

You're welcome.

I edited the above, written in a rush, and should have said the manual transmission (6MT) oil is changed. The DCT version oil is not changed. I think that is where some of the confusion comes from.

We don't change the micro filter at our dealer, I believe that might be wrong. We only change the engine and diff oil and the trans oil on manuals. DCT is to never be touched.

Thanks for the information. Is the micro filter for the AC?
