Bought 2010 sDrive 35i today with 80K miles on it...
I didn't buy it from a dealer so I am taking it to my BMW dealer for an oil change and general inspection. What else should I have them do/look for?
Any suggestions from longtime Z4 owners appreciated. |

2010 and in SoCal? I'd find a good Indy shop and build a relationship with them, rather than go to the dealership. Just my 02 cents. Check the boards (especially for the N54 cars) and see who folks are recommending.

If it's a DCT, check if it's leaking. Mine is leaking again, less than a year after having it fixed There are many others with similar issues with the DCT.

DCT oil leak as well as Transmission pan leak? Parts and materials: $535.18 Labor drop transmission and repair: $1309 A quick $1844.19 to get out the door. With 80K mile I went ahead and had them order the clutch kit and materials to replace the clutch while they're in there. Another $750. GRAND TOTAL SO FAR: $2594.19 But wait! it's still there at the BMW Service department and they can call at any moment with another finding! Flywheel? argh.... |

I had it done at dealer for ~$1300 if I remember correctly, around 75k miles for 09 35i. I recommend you don't perform your services at a dealer due to their very high prices.

$1,300 seems on the ouch side to me, though ... Filippo
