Talking Bought a Used 2014 M6 with 45K miles, what do i need to fix up?

These were the last major maintenance items done on the car before I bought:


23k miles/aug2018 differential flush
42K miles August 2023 oil change
18K August 2017 brake fluid flush

I plan on bleeding the brakes tomorrow myself as well as doing a liquimoly engine flush as well as oil change using Liquimoly 0w20.

Going to try run diagnostics with bimmerlink

Is there anything else you would recommend getting checked/maintaining soon?

also, I noticed the carfax shows the oil changes were done at valvoline… is that of concern?

0w20 wouldn’t be ideal, too thin. Do a search on here and on f10 forum. Lots of topics on oil but I think 20 would be a no go. There are also many posts/YouTube about the engine flush…probably snake oil.
I would start with oil change, charcoal delete, intake filter, cabin filters, plugs and coils. Just my 2cents.

Yeah man you don't want to put 0w 20 in you want 0w 40 or 5w40. 0w20 is for the b58 b48
