Is a version of a time based maintenance schedule? I barely put 5000 miles a year and currently have 18,500 miles on a 2013 model year that I drove out in April 2013.

Is this something that anyone can share? What should I be looking to do on a time based schedule as I will never hit the mileage suggestions for most of the maintenance items. Currently I replace my engine oil every 5000 miles or one year. Other than that, its only break fluid very 2 years and coolant every 4.

Excel sheet

So, based on what I’m reading here does the attached sheet appear to be a good maintenance schedule?

Does anyone know if there is still a way to get a copy of Mike Miller's maintenance schedule? Thanks!

Hello,

I usually do my oil change every 5000 miles but I've heard some people do it every 3000 and others say 7500-8000 miles.

Should I stick to 5000?

I daily my M3, No track days.......Yet

Quite a few of the guys onboard seems to stick to 5k interval (me included). Never done an oil test myself but apparently the oil is typically judged ok even at 10k. Hence Im leaning to that 5k is OCD enough for normal useage.

I'll most likely just be changing mine annually since I expect to put so few miles on it. But, no more than 5K between changes.
