I’ve been meaning to take care of several things on my 335xi but haven’t gotten around to them. And by “take care of” I mean “pay my indy mechanic a reasonable fee to do them because I don’t want to.” Now I’m finally getting to them! They include:
Un-bend 1 or possibly 2 of my front summer wheels (I probably should’ve stuck with 18s instead of 19s with the shitty Wisconsin roads, but they look so good)
Refresh brakes - StopTech Sport pads, Pagid High Carbon rotors, StopTech stainless lines, some kind of fancy high-temp fluid
Oil change
Driveline fluid changes (transmission, transfer case, front & rear diffs)
Coolant flush
Replace the rubber windshield seal that’s chewed up a bit around the corners
Maybe replace the clutch slave cylinder to fix a kinda hitch/pause in the clutch pedal
Maybe replace the front passenger wheel bearing to fix a squeak coming from that corner
Maybe replace the transfer case actuator worm gear with this aftermarket metal one because I have this pulsing noise that may be a symptom of the bent wheels but also possibly a worn transfer case worm gear
Yay for keeping on top of things and adding to the sizeable quantity of scanned receipts I keep in my service records archive so whenever I sell the thing I can show the prospective buyer how much stuff has gone into it.

How old were the driveline fluids? I took mine to my indie and he insisted I didn’t need to change them out. Mine’s 5 year old from the factory (I presume) with 43k kms on it.

Is it the N54 or N55?

My car is a 2011 with 51k miles (82k km) on it.
The transfer case is the one that I for sure would do, assuming I do the transfer case worm gear.
Transmission and diffs are perhaps less urgent.

I heard the diff is a 45k mile service. Had the M3 done at 40k and the 328i done at 45k. The transmission is a different story, the M3 needs a service at 45k and the 328i is apparently good until 100k. I’m probably going to have the 3 flushed at around 60k just to make me feel better.
