Hello everyone im planning on getting a 2011 328i coupe with the NA inline 6. it is currently sitting at 30.3k miles and im wondering what should my checklist be for maintenance. coilpacks? spark plus? of so recommendations and what should they be gapped at? what oil does it take? just sort of what needs to be done to get to the “get in an go point” Thank yall for yalls time.

Depends on the history of the car, im going to assume its only had oil changes so i'd recommend changing the fluid for the oil, trans and diff. flush the coolant and refill. new spark plugs is def a good idea, new coils prolly isn't necessary but when 1 goes out then id change all 6.

Super low mileage, but a lot of years on all the fluids. They're cheap and easy to change out, might as well. Mickey Mouse flange on principle. Gummi plfege on all the rubber seals everywhere.

Is it low mileage from sitting and no use, or from super short trips? Short trips are terrible for ICE, so maybe an engine flush with the oil change.
