#21826 of 30156 MAINTENANCE OIL CHANGE by wrjohnsonpghpa Feb 06, 2003 (7:42 am)
Does anybody know if I have to wait for 15K miles, or if BMW will change the oil under their maintenance program after one year (but < 15K)? There's no way I'll have 15K at one year (probably will be about 8,500) and I really hate to wait much longer (I also hate to pay $100+ for an oil change, though). Thoughts, anyone?

If you look at the manual, I believe it says 15k or 1 year. Which ever comes first.

The dealer changed the oil in my wife's 2002 325Ci at one year and 6500 miles and charged it to BMW. Also checked tire pressures and checked other fluid levels. The mechanic reset the maintenance monitor.

The dealer will do an early oil change at the year anniversary, at your request. I called the dealer to verify. The service interval will not be reset and you will be required to bring the car in for the regular service interval maintenance.

I bent the rim on my E36 325i about a year ago -- in a city pothole-- and the rim was repaired by a local tire dealer. They ended up doing it for free for various reasons, but the charge was supposed to be about $70.   Sometimes rims can be repaired like this, and other times they have to be replaced.   What kind of tires did you have? I am very impressed that with the bent rims you did not get a flat. Nevertheless, I agree with shipo that you should replace the tire (ASAP), particularly if you see a bulge in the sidewall.
#21832 of 30156 Brakes Covered In MY2000 by riez Feb 06, 2003 (5:09 pm)
My wife bought her '00 323ia CPO with 18,000 miles. Brake light came on at about 34,700 miles. According to the service order, she had the following covered under the free maintenance program: replace both front brake discs, replace sensors, replace rotors. Covered everything: pads, linings, sensors, discs, etc. And since this was the 2nd year in service anniversary, she also got free brake fluid change.

That's an awesome video!!! You need a lot of power to be able to steer the car with the throttle like that.

Browsing through bmwusa.com ran across this information, which I didn't see posted here.   1. Torque has been bumped at the midpoint (3,500 rpms) to 222. Redline is at 6,800. 2. The top speed governor has been reset to 155 mph. <---- I though this was the really cool thing. No more excuses against the competition now. 3. The brochure I read lists the 0-60 at 5.9.   brave1heart - I was cringing while watching the video. I can't believe the *flogging* that M3 was given. But it is one heck of a machine.
