2017 X5 at 50k

Hi,

I need to take my car to an independent auto shop and I would like to know what kind of service that needs to be done at 50K?

Thank you in advance for the suggestions.

Whats the maint history on the car? What has been done previously?

At 50K miles, I'd make sure the spark plugs were done, brake fluid flush, air filter / cabin air filters / recirc filter. Measure out the pads / rotors and see what is left.

60k miles is when things start getting more involved. Front and rear diff, transfer case, trans fluid ect.

Who knows, its also a BMW, maybe your ball joints will start squeeking, shocks could blow, wheel bearings.... the world is your oyster.

Id have a plan or if your trust your indy see what he says or else you will get taken for a ride.

You have the 3.0L inline 6 Turbo. BMW engine code is N55. Should help point you in the right direction.
