Most of the stuff I have done was more or less preventive maintenance, and I feel as if I could have gone longer on some of the services but I am OCD and worry too much about stuff breaking. Besides that most of the money spent on the car has been in mods.
I am also thinking about doing the transmission service as I plan on keeping the car a little longer this time. Have you done transmission flush on your vehicle, or are you still on the original fluid? How hard do you drive your car? I am

I am on the original fluid for transmission. I drive mine mostly on the highway, but I definitely do not Baby the car. I also have the BMS JB+ Tune also. The oil pan gasket it just now leaking also. I am replacing that and the engine mounts when overhauling the coolant system. I have had many BMW's over the years. The f10 is built like a tank compared to my kids e90's although I really like those too. My wife's E70 cannot compare to the F10 either.
