Beyond 100K miles

Coolhydro · 08-22-2017, 07:15 PM

Can someone put together or add their inputs on what steps need to be taken after we hit 100k miles. These can be for any f30 engines.

I am assuming Battery, spark plugs are replaced at around 60K miles by everyone. The usual 7-8k Mile oil change is highly recommended.

Anything else?

Tires shouldn't be there, removed.

Don't forget the tranny and diff fluids.

I'm at 38K still with OEM tires.

That's a bit unusual for stock 340i tires...although when I switched to ContiSport Contact Extreme all-seasons, I was getting close to that on my 330i and my wife's Volvo XC60 R-Design.

Which tires do you have?

Transmission flush should probably happen before 100k or not at all.

Beyond 100 K is only for the brave.

Perhaps, but I still have my 2006 E90 330i with 175,000 miles, and it's been more reliable post-100,000 than pre...very reliable overall.

ContiproContact SSR.

Coolant flush, if you haven't done it yet. Every 2 years.

I had the same 06 330i, but it's got tons of problems at 75,000 km, that's why I sold it 2 years ago for a new F30. Surprisingly the F30 has more rattle at 36,000 km/2 yrs than my 8 years old E90 back then.

Strange. I bought, literally, the first E90 available from my local dealership...and of course, the 2006 was a first year model. It has been one of the most reliable cars I've owned. Really, the only thing I've had to do to it - including warranty items - was replace about 4 of the 6 ignition coils, and replace the A/C fan. It's now my son's car.

Perhaps, it can't survive our hot and humid weather here in Hong Kong, lots of idling in traffic jams and waiting for parking space melted the plastic hoses and water pump.

It's also very hot and humid here in the southern U.S. (Arkansas), but its balanced by four true seasons.
