Hi All

I would like to give my BMW e90 323i a major service but i don't know all the things that should be changed, the car has 150 000kms on the clock now, can you guys please advise me on what to change and which is the best brands to use

:ty:

I'm no E90 boffin but I would imagine a major service entails:

Fuel filter
Oil filter
Air filter
Cabin filter
Oil change
Oil breather
Have a beer
Check brakes
Check belts
Spark plugs...? (dieselhead here)
...

Try Goldwagen as well, they stock many oem suppliers parts at very good prices.

Yip all the above, not sure if a 323 has oil breather, don't think so.

Flush and replace both the brake fluid and the coolant.

Curious to know why you would change the coolant on a service?

150,000 kms probably never been done and is considered items that you would do as part of a major service.

Well at least in my mind.

Could actually add gearbox and diff oil replacement to the list too.

oil filter, fuel filter and air filter... a wise man once recommended to me it is best to get OEM parts. :rollsmile:

Other parts looks at goldwagen, g-drive and for bigger parts consider incomex, meyco

Quiet correct, meant to add that too. Agents service parts are not too much more, bar the cabin filter and fuel filter.
