Preventative Maintenance
My 535 is coming up on 70K miles and I'm bringing it in for some maintenance - Any tips on what should be done proactively?? I know the Water pump was an issue on the E's - Should I take care of this now??
Any ideas on what maintenance I should have done?? Also - Going to have my Snow Tires put on - Is there any reason I should have them installed with an alignment at dealer or can my local BMW expert do it (seem to remember BMW had some special alignment device/software) thanks! |

You get the routine maintenance required and thats it. If it aint broke why replace it?
A competent independent BMW tech will most likely do a better job than the dealer, so you should be ok |

Unless you think you need an alignment I wouldn't bother.
