Change out of fluids after break-in period
This not intended to be another about driving techniques during the break-in period ... that horse is dead, and there are many posts about it.
I'm specifically interested in doing an early service to change the oils (engine, transmission, rear gear box) and cycle out the coolant now that I'm well past the break-in period at 3400mi. A buddy at work, long time bimmer driver and M3 guy, says that if I'm planning on keeping the car for a while, cycling out the fluids is a good idea ahead of the regular BMW recommended maintenance interval. I asked my service adviser, and he said that BMW doesn't recommend changing out the fluid early, but notes that several of his customers tend to do this with their new cars. What do you guys think? What have you done?

As soon as my 335i arrives in about 2 weeks, with 3000 miles in it, I put into it in Europe, I for sure going to change all the three oils myself. There are threads describing how to do it, it's pretty simple, you can pretty much do it all yourself. |
