Currently at 99,000 miles on my 2019 M4. This car has been tuned with BM3 Stage 1 91 octane since 5,000 miles on the OD with oil changes from 10K-12K.

0 issues so far. This continues to be my most reliable car ever, save for my 2005 Toyota Corolla. RIP Corolla.

Did you do any injector cleanings and walnut blasting to clean combustion chambers? Just curious.

By the way, which Service Manual do you own?
The Bentley series does not have one for F80 M3.

I have the service manual that came with the car. I have not done anything to the car other than oil changes/air filters. I'm still on the original brakes. PS. I drive my card hard. My track is old highway 101 where I always take my car to redline at least 5-6 times per day.

Wait, your car came with a Service Manual?
Were you referring to User's Manual or Service Manual?

Yea, user's manual. I don't need a service manual (other than what is suggested in the user's manual) as I haven't needed it..

I find that the Service Manual has detailed information on specific requirements such as when to change the rear differential fluid (after every 5th oil change. Page 6) etc.

Also, these items are connected to the oil change schedule but will not be in the CBS rotation. My SA was unaware of any of this and I had to do a little bit of coercing to get them to do the rear differential.

Yup, this is just to specify the Service Schedule. What year is your M3?
For mine, they have replaced the schedule into a Table.

What I'm looking for is the Technical Shop Manual where they show you all the steps and diagrams to do the service yourself.
Bentley series has been the the go to source.

Newtis...was exactly that, BMW shut it down and I haven't looked into alternatives or if you can pay $$ for access?
Most likely ISTA is the best option.

2018 m3 comp 9k miles

2020 Acura MDX Advance Hybrid as a daily and my road bike…it's nice living within 4 miles of my office.

Actually considering selling the m3…have had lots of interest and the market is about as hot as I've seen in many years.

Now at 96,700 miles. Had it in for an oil change and was shown that oil pan was leaking. I had it fixed ($$$). I have now changed the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket and oil pan gasket. Anyone else had these issues? Other than that, it has had no problems. I still love this car and hopefully can keep on driving it for the foreseeable future. Still haven’t decided if the new M4 is something I will get.

Did you change the gaskets yourself or you took it to the shop?
