$3k of maintenance on a 2016 528!?
So I went to the dealership to do routine servicing, and then the service advisor slaps a paper on the desk with all the recommended maintenance that was past due. (44k miles)
- Differential Fluid (Rear) - Differential Fluid (Front) - Transfer Case Fluid - Transmission Fluid - Brake Fluid replaced - Fuel Injection Service All of this is apparently $3,000! So $500 for each Can someone tell me if I actually have to get this maintenance done or if I do, then is it better to do it myself and how easy the DIY is. So far there is 44k miles on it with only regular maintenance and oil changes. Replaced tires last year but that's it. |

3k is a bit steep, rear diff is easy to attempt. front diff and transfercase requires a bit more to take off to access. Fuel service from dealer can be multiple hundreds. Transmission is not bad just have to make sure temperatures are right and correctly filling i did this with my father one has to run through gears and topping off as needed until a drip.drop. Brake fluid seen some videos of people using a turkey baster

44k is definitely early. I believe recommended is 60k.

On my 535 with about 69K miles I've done the trans, brake and coolant fluids and plan on the doing the diff at my next oil change next February at around 73K miles. |

I personally would do the brake fluid flush, and wait to do the other fluids until around 75,000 miles. And I wouldn't ever do the injector cleaning. I would make sure to fill up with top tier premium gasoline and run some Techron injector cleaner through the tank every oil change or so.
