    I just hit 101K miles on my 09 328i. Bought it new. Stay on top of maintenance. Is there anything special I need to have done soon?

    Change all the Engine gaskets
    Coolant lines probably needs changing
    Replace Cabin filter
    Gasoline treatment
    Replace water pump and thermostat
    have more frequent oil changes . Like instead of every 5000 miles I would do every 3000 miles
    Start using 93 at the gas station on fill up.

    I think you don’t need to do anything special. My 2011 335is that I bought new nearly 12 years ago, has 247k miles and still runs like new. I did have to replace a water pump a couple of months ago, plus new injectors (I never cleaned them), plug coils, turbos, shocks and struts. It uses practically no oil (same as when new). I used dealer maintenance exclusively. At about 100k miles I had a Dinan stage three upgrade and replaced the fuel pump and valve cover, which was found to be warped. I am a bit concerned about the possibility of worn wheel bearings, but the vehicle is inspected each time I take it in for maintenance. I used the book oil change intervals, which the garage has now reduced to 8000 miles. I may never give this BMW up. It has done everything I asked of it, including towing my motorcycle trailer.

    Thanks for the info. Happy to know my car may last many more miles. FYI...I haven't had to to the water pump yet, but had to replace the bushings, shocks/struts, one plug coil and valve cover. Love my Beamer.

    So...just got my car back from BMW Annapolis. It was in for a brake fluid flush and was told it would take a few hours. Three hours later I called and asked to speak with the service department to get an update. Found out the front right caliper was warped and they couldn't get it off. Wanted $1,000 to install a new caliper!! I asked to speak with the service manager. Explained to him I was disappointed that no one called to let me know there were issues; that the tech told me I didn't need to change that one caliper. Long story short, after a long discussion with the service manager and him finding out I've had ALL my service at their dealership since I first purchased the care, he told me they would change out the caliper at no charge and just had me pay for the flush. Finally, someone did the right thing.

    A warped caliper? Never heard that before. Sounds more like a bolt was seized. Warped rotors, sure.
