What to check/change on a long road trip with my Z4
I am taking a long road trip in my E89 during the summer totally around 2500 miles all together. I am not entirely car-savvy when it comes to the engine and I want my car absolutely prepared for the long drive. I am afraid of just taking it to a shop and asking what needs to be done first since I will probably be ripped off. The Z4 is a 2011 with 28K miles.
I know I should replace the oil at least. Anything else I should worry about? Thanks! |

2500 isn't that many miles that I'd change the oil, unless you're due soon.
Are you running non-runflat tires? If so, take a mobility kit in case of a flat. Hat and sunscreen and off you go!

I did that distance in my e90 328 and didn't do anything other than make sure the CBS wasn't recommending a service soon and also checked on tire tread depth and washer fluid. You should be good to with no issues or special prep.
Great advice on the sealant. I personally have the slime kit, air compression and a tire plug set in the car. |
