Every 2-3 years or 30,000-50,000 miles.

Fluid Specifications

Engine Oil:

API SG or higher, SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50 depending on climate. BMW recommends Castrol. Specific viscosity varies by engine. (e.g., 5W-30 for M42).

Transmission Fluid Manual:

BMW ATF Dexron II or equivalent for 5-speed gearboxes. Check manual for specific GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil for older units.

Transmission Fluid Automatic:

BMW ATF Dexron II or Dexron III. Capacity typically 5-7 liters.

Coolant:

Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. BMW blue coolant or equivalent.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Always use fresh fluid.

Known Issues

Cooling System Weaknesses:

Plastic coolant expansion tanks can become brittle and crack; water pumps can leak; thermostat housing seals can fail.

Rear Axle Bushings:

Trapezoidal bushings (RTABs) and trailing arm bushings are common wear items that can affect handling and cause clunking noises.

Rust:

Common rust areas include fender wells, rocker panels, battery tray, and rear window surround. Thorough inspection is crucial.

Window Seals:

Door and window seals can degrade, leading to water leaks into the cabin, especially with convertibles.

Idle Control Valve:

Can become clogged on some fuel-injected models, leading to rough idle or stalling.

Fuel Injector Seals:

O-rings can harden and leak on fuel-injected models, causing vacuum leaks and performance issues.
