Transmission Fluid Service:
BMW initially claimed 'lifetime' fluid for the 6HP transmission, but industry best practice and owner experience suggest a fluid and filter change every 60,000-100,000 miles is advisable for longevity.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Approximately every 60,000 miles for the N73 V12 engine. Specific interval may vary.
Coolant Flush:
Every 2-4 years or as indicated by CBS.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Coolant:
BMW Blue Antifreeze/Coolant (G48) or equivalent ethylene glycol-based coolant with silicate inhibitors.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 High Performance Brake Fluid
Power Steering Fluid:
Pentosin CHF 11S or equivalent hydraulic fluid
Known Issues
Known Issues Ignition:
Coil-on-plug ignition systems can be a source of misfires, especially with age. Spark plugs require replacement at specific intervals.
Known Issues Cooling:
Plastic coolant expansion tanks can become brittle and crack, leading to leaks. Water pump and thermostat issues can also occur.
Known Issues Electronics:
The iDrive system can experience glitches or failures. Various sensors and control modules are complex and can fail.
Known Issues Suspension:
Adaptive Drive systems (Active Roll Stabilization, Electronic Damper Control) can develop leaks or actuator failures, which are costly to repair.
Known Issues HVAC:
HVAC blower motors, climate control modules, and door actuators can fail.
