102K miles, original rod bearings, original shocks & struts, replaced throttle actuators at about 70K miles, replaced valve covers & gaskets at 100K miles. Besides that, basic maintenance. Car sees lots of track time and aggressive driving.

Are you getting the oil light on startup yet? I think around 160k, it will always be on (change oil indicator).

Yeah, around 160k, the "change oil notification, counter" is going start at 0. I heard it a sensor/software issue. You can reset it, but on next startup it will go back to 0 and start counting backward.

Week after that I got a nail in my new tires. Week after that, second nail, same tire. Month after that, driveshaft started clunking TAs after that. Been a dream since I shook out all those age globlins in the first year or so |

I did a lot of required and preventive maintenance in the last few months at 159k miles. Replaced the t-stat which was the main reason for the maintenance but ended up doing a whole lot more at this mileage. Lol. Finished the coolant flush and cleared the code. Then 2 short drives later, I get codes for precat O2 sensor, secondary air pump and additional water pump. Hope that's all for now. But I still smile every time I floor this car.

Really enjoying this thread to see what to expect down the road. I bought my 103k mile 6mt 08 last year, with PO having recently done actuators, starter, thermostat, and wheel bearings.
Since purchasing, I've done rod bearings, motor/trans mounts, spark plugs, and swapped to a low km set of struts w/ swift springs. I'll be tackling the center support bearing/guibo soon, along with belt/idlers, pulleys, rad hoses, and alternator. Next winter I'd like to do control arms all around, and subframe/diff bushings. Otherwise, looking forward to putting another 100k on her! |

Mine is about to turn 120K. Replaced rod bearings, front main seal, and motor mounts when I got it at 72K miles. Also serviced the DCT trans fluid at that time. Since then I've done the TBA's, an alternator, and recently replaced the EDC struts with non-EDC Bilsteins.
Took it up into the mountains yesterday, and hit 100 mph on the uphill without even breathing hard. Magnificent car. |

I bought this 2009 e90 6 speed last year with 201k miles.
Only big maintenance it had was throttle actuators. Since then i did - Rod bearings - Valve cover gasket - Oil filter housing gasket - Thermostat and waterpump - All fluids - Brake fluid flush - MS Stage 2 intake, MS Pullies X pipe, Exhaust, Alpine Stage 2 tune, Ohlins R&T, GAS Monoballs Car has been running great I just took it to a track day and beat on it for 7 20 minute sessions. Hope it lasts a lot longer! Current miles 203,5xx |

These cars are rock solid when looked after. I tell all my friends that the only real preventive maintenance that needs to be done are rod bearings. Everything else will give errors before they fail and will not destroy the engine. Even throttle actuators are not really a preventive item anymore, and Rebuild/M Power offer lifetime warranty on them.

Awesome thread! Have owned a few BMW’s, new to M ownership but long time fan.
1 month ownership. 09 build, 10 registered E92 DCT, Alpine White with black interior purchased with 155k kms on it (Aus delivered car). Bought sight unseen (C19 restrictions) and because there are only 20 or so for sale in the country. Purchased from forum member although I didn’t know this at the time. Have put just over 1000kms on it so far and falling more and more in love with it. Still walk to the garage just to stare at it. 😀 Completed works: RB + engine mounts Evolve Test pipes Evolve stage 2 + DCT tune Replace Idrive controller (didn’t like the small chips around the buttons) Replaced sticky dct speed selection button LUX white angel eyes LED interior lights Carbon shift paddles Carbon steering wheel trim Red M button Red start stop (to be installed) Planned works: Replace rocker cover gasket as there is a small leak Spark Plugs LCI tail lights Updated comms module for blue tooth steaming Rear carbon spoiler Front carbon spoiler Would love to: Replace and paint rocker covers Replace coil packs and injectors Wheels, suspension + breaks Evolve plenum air intake and box Black alcantara trim pieces And more ++++ Also win the lotto so I can pay for all this lol |
