new 2015 650i xdrive GC, questions on maintenance (approx. 60,000 miles)
Hi, I bought my f06 not too long ago (I love it) however IDK much about how the previous owner treated the car and kept up with maintenance..
It is pretty good minus the terrible MPG (9-10.3mpg city+highway driving, avg mph is 13mph i believe), and one time it stalled ( I think i can replicate this often, by turning on the car (cold start) and then trying to drive right away/soon after vs giving it time to warm up (when i hear the somewhat loud muffler go silent, usually after 15-20 seconds then i know car is warm/good to go) if i try to drive off right away its a little vibrations/shaking and car feels like it might stall as it did to me one time) However that is not really a problem as I have found that once it warms up around 15-20 seconds there's no issues what-so-ever from there on out.. I've made a a list of things im going to maintenance / change and would like experienced people/mechanics/ or very knowledgeable to chime in and offer suggestions .. car facts: 2015 BMW 650i xDrive gran coupe - approaching 60,000 miles maintenance list: ENGINE Oil filter (1) Cabin filter (2) Engine air filter/Intake (2) Spark plugs (8) Spark Plug Coilover (8) Distributor cap and rotor (1) O2 Oxygen sensors (4) PCV valve (1) + pipes (4) Coolant fluid flush/change (1) Power steering fluid (1) Automatic transmission fluid (1) Fuel injectors (8) (EU5 or EU6, I am not sure as my research tells me I have to use special software to determine ISTA) Fuel injector decoupler (8) Walnut blasting Throttle body cleaning (2) Serpentine belt /ribbed v belt /AC compressor drive belt /belt tensioner /pulley /idler pulley cap /bracket deflection pulley If there is anything I am missing/wrong about/ or simply any suggestions/edits please let me know also last thing.. what brake pads/rotors do you guys recommend, please.. no ceramic suggestions lol, im not rich Last edited by deep_thought; 05-16-2022 at 12:52 PM.. Reason: added Fuel injector/throttle body cleaning/walnut blasting to maintenance list |

At 60,000 miles on the N63, these are the items I would replace:
Engine oil/oil filter (a given lol) Cabin air filters Engine air filter Spark plugs/coil packs Coolant flush Brake fluid flush Maybe throttle body cleaning? Maybe MAF sensor spray clean (this works for me with a quick few sprays with MAF sensor cleaner from AutoZone once per year or so) Maybe walnut blasting? I believe carbon buildup on the N63TU is more of a concern than on the N55. The other things you posted don’t seem to need replacing just as of yet since the car has not reached the specified mileage for such replacement. For instance, the auto transmission fluid doesn’t need to be replaced until between 80-100k miles (even though BMW claims it is “lifetime fluid”). The drive belt/tensioners/pulleys can wait if the belt still looks good (which it should at that mileage/age) and no noises are coming from the tensioners. Same with fuel injectors. I know these can cause issues, but I would wait until they give a code or actually cause issues before replacing. Others can chime in about the other parts. Oh and for brakes, Zimmerman rotors and Textar/TRW/Akebono pads. Akebonos might have less pad bite. |

and as for the code.. i did receive a 02 bank or oxygen code something like that, it was a while back and i cleared it and it hasnt returned, so thats another reason i want to replace the injectors as well as the O2 oxygen sensors ... Quote:

You don’t have a distributor cap or rotor. Those have not been used in decades. The turbo lag from a roll you describe is normal if you are in comfort mode. You do need to code new injectors, but those might be overkill at those miles. What will somebody charge you to walnut blast an N63? Not easy job since the intake manifolds are way down low on the sides.
