My final ultimate service visit... Am I missing anything?
Well,
My car is officially 4 years old. I'm going in for my final service tomorrow... but it only has 8100 miles on it. Yes, 8k, I traveled for work since I bought it. Here's a list that I've worked up myself and should be covered this last visit... do you guys see anything I missed? Some items I'm not sure and I have put ??? after them. Oil and filter change Air filter (engine) Air filter (cabin) Brake fluid change Radiator coolant change/flush Windshield wipers Fuel filter??? Software updates to iDrive??? I also want them to balance the front tires, if price is reasonable, as I feel a shimmy sometimes. I wonder how much the dealer charges to balance a tire. |

With those low miles, your shimmy may just be flat spotted tired, I imagine it sits for quite long periods?

I would verify the following prime fail areas for E9X M3's -
1. Is the A/C ice cold? If not, mention it as the evaporators are expensive and labor intensive. 2. Does my car idle normally? If the RPM raise and lower at idle it could be a failing Idle Control valve, which you guess it, is expensive. 3. Has my car ever gone into limp mode? If yes then check the Throttle actuators - expensive. 4. If your car is a DCT, check for any leaks on the felt guard. Mine had a leak - O ring replaced and .3 liters of transmission fluid was added.
