From the silly questions department: Just passed 100k on my '10 E90. My first BMW (all too late in life) and best daily driver, ever. I did all the scheduled maintenance through 50 K, had my rotors worked on, then just kept changing oil and filters until now. It runs like a champ.

In fact, I finally figured out what makes me want to just keep driving this car, when I'd typically have new car fever by now: It drives like the day I bought it.

Should I be focused on any further service items, or just watch to see if / when any sensors tell me otherwise?

I do have one issue. A light bulb error message. I have a hairline crack in one lens cover, but all,of my lights work properly

What say ye?

Trans fluid, diff fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, check the belts, check brake pad level, start thinking about replacing vacuum hoses. Has your water pump gone out yet?

I've heard mixed reviews on transmission and differential fluid, but that sounds plausible. Water pump has been fine this far.

At the very least change the fluids and replace with fresh OEM fluid. They are absolutely not lifetime fluids.

Check ZF literature for recommended service intervals. at 100K, you are way overdue. There is NO such thing as 'lifetime' fluid on these cars.

What E90 is it and what transmission type?

You may even start considering looking at your suspension components and checking to see if they are still in good condition, like bushings, ball joints, axles/boots, dampers, etc. Also check alignment.

Thanks for the help. I starting with spark plugs and differential fluid. I did oil, air and cabin filter. Will also have them check suspension components and other fluids

[Jazzerguy]

Thanks for he help, gentlemen ! I'm starting with differential fluid and spark plugs. Oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filter replaced. I'll have them check other fluids and suspension components as well

Cheers

(And yes, I'll probably buy another one some point

I have a '54 Bentley and '89 560Sl with 26k miles to keep me distracted ...
