2008 M3 Maintenance

I am trying to keep my M3 well maintained to keep its value up. It was appraised by Hagerty at 85k due to its condition and low mileage (3106 miles).

I do yearly oil changes and every other year brake fluid. I take it to the BMW dealer for this since new. Is it necessary to keep this up? Or, can I delay the fluid changes?

If you’re not putting many miles on it (I’m assuming less than 500ish?), then that’s a LOT of fluid to be changing for not much wear and tear.

I’d push each of those intervals out by a year, if not 2 years for your fluid changes if you aren’t driving it a lot.

I’ve heard of SOME places valuing it higher if you keep fresh fluids in it on a yearly rotation basis, but that’s with regular driving.
