Thoughts on this Maintenance Plan

[michaelalex17]

What do you guys think about the below maintenance plan that I created for my car? sorry it looks a bit, odd i tried to copy and paste it from Excel which didn't really work. the first number is when the maintenance item was last due and the second number is when it is due again. I bought the car CPO at 35,000 miles which is while a lot of the items were done then. the car currently has about 38,500 miles on it. how does the below look, am I missing anything? Thank you

Anyone?

I think the spark plug interval in the S55 is 25K miles, do you know if your car already had them replaced? If not it's time to do them.

[al3xander]

Plugs are due every 3rd oil change. Not including the 1200 mile service

[michaelalex17]

That is very helpful thanks guys! I will make that change. Anything else?

[gatorfast]

I would cut oil change interval in half, 5-6k miles. Also change air filters at same time as spark plugs (i.e. every approx. 30k miles)

Very helpful thank you!

What is the difference between:

rear diff axle service and differential oil? I have those as two separate line items, are they the same thing?

Also
are there three filters that need to be replaced or two? I have cabin air filter (microfilter), air filter (intake silencer), and engine air filter. is the intake silencer the same things as ending air filter? is this duplicative?

Maintenance Last Done- Next Time Due
CBS
Engine oil 35,000 - 45,000 Every 5K in my opinion
Vehicle Check 35,000 - 45,000 A generic check car is a waste of money in my
opinion.
Brake Fluid 38,000 -48,000 My interval is every 20K
Rear Pads 38,000 -68,000 This can simply be "as needed" The car will tell you.
Front pads 38,000 -68,000 Same here.

Other Maintenance
Tires 35,000 - 50,000 Again as needed. Around 4/32 of tread for me.
Spark Plugs 35,000 -80,000 Every 50K for me.
Windshield Wiper35,000 -50,000 As needed. when they streak or miss gaps they get
replaced.
Engine Air Filter 35,000 -65,000 Every 10K for me.
02 Sensor 120,000 As needed. It will throw a code or fail emissions.
Cabin air filter 35,000 - 65,000 Every 20K for me.
Fuel Filter 80,000 Sounds about right.
Engine Drive belts - 60,000 Belts have become very durable. But look for
cracking
Coolant 35,000 -45,000 Every 50K
Water pump and thermostat -60,000 As needed unless you are just trying to prevent
ever having a failure?
Power steering -50,000 Sounds about right
M DCT oil -50,000 Sounds about right
Differential oil -50,000 Sounds about right
Battery -50,000 These Li Ion batteries are $1200.00! Nobody
knows how long they will last yet but this is
definitely an "as needed" item. It will be obvious.

bump, sorry if these are dumb questions, but looking for clarification.

1. is what BMW calls the rear diff axle service the same thing as the differential oil?

2. is the intake air silence the same thing as the engine air filter? I know there is the cabin air filter and intake silencer, but am trying to establish if the air filter (intake silencer) is the same things as the engine air filter.

Thank you!
