Nearing 100k on N57 Maintenance advise needed

BMW BRAD · 04-17-2024, 01:54 PM

What's up fellas, my 2014 535d M Sport is nearing 100k miles. It has been an amazing ride so far with just basic maintenance. I love the car and want to keep it for a long time as it still looks and rides like new. Does anyone have a link for recommended 100k servicing? TIA!

Its all a bit of personal opinion to be honest and it always depends on what your intervals are up to that date. If you haven't already, my list would be:

~8k Oil Intervals if you don't already
Cabin filter every 3x Oil Services
Air filter every 3x Oil Services
Fuel filter every 4x Oil Services
Brake Fluid every 2 yrs
Rear Differential Fluid
If XDrive: Transfer Case Oil & Front Differential Fluid
Transmission Service (ZF recommend 60-80k intervals)

Some things to keep checking for at this age:

Rubber engine gaskets - Valve Cover Gasket, Inlet Manifold, Oil filler etc.
Engine mounts
Bushes & Balljoints

Ive only had 2 cars past 100k, and ive always ended up cleaning the washer bottle with a bleach solution too

At 100K, I would do the following:

Swap chain tensioner to the latest version.

Check the crank pulley damper for excessive play.

Check the cam cover gasket for leaks and replace if it is leaking before it drips onto the exhaust manifold and causes a fire.

Cam cover PCV rubber diaphragm.

PCV hose to the turbo inlet.

Oil filler cap housing O ring.

Oil filter housing / heat exchanger gaskets.

If the budget allows, maybe a walnut blast of the cylinder head ports/valves and ultrasonic clean of the intake and injector nozzles.
