2016 BMW X1  [9.00]
2016 sDrive 18 M sport. 107,000km. Maybe I can start a milestone from here. After owned it for a month, decided not to let bmw center service my car. Went for a check in my friends workshop and started my maintenance jobs.
Engine oil, brake fluids, transmission fluid. Weather here is all year hot and humid so transmission oil cooler prone to leak, change it as preventive measures.
Engine mount going to change soon.
Oil filter housing would be the next to change before things go bad.
Some caution in mind that he kept repeating was monitor the coolant level. Be it a crack on reservoir, leak on pipes will lead to turbo overheat and that means wastegate flap bent. There goes the turbo.
I’m wondering since there are so many closed flap covers on front bumpers why not just channel some air in the engine compartment?
Got the run flat tyres on, ride is rough. Due to change probably next year. Before that have to replace all 4 shocks. Looking for some aftermarket and found Koni seems like a good choice?
Sounds fun to go through all these after made payment for a 2016 car lol.
I guess the infotainment stereo upgrades on my base audio have to wait.
