Hey everyone, thanks in advance for the replies. I'll be hitting 50k miles soon in my 328xi, and I was wondering what maintenance should be done, be it required or preventative. All suggestions are helpful!

What year car? What has already been done?

Nonetheless. If car is fine. Put gas in (don't be cheap either) and go. Do an oil change every 10k miles or so.

I have a 2007 328xi and this is what I've done between 50-60K. Mostly just preventative

This is the approximate cost if you DIY'ed as far as I can remember

Oil change - $40
Spark plugs - $55 (Advance Auto)
Coolant flush - $30
Power steering ($60 since its Pentosin)
Brake fluid flush - $40
Transfer case fluid - $60 with new plugs
Microfilter - $20 (Advance Auto)
Air filter - $40 (K&N Filter)
Front Differential - $15 (one bottle of redline fluid)
Rear Differential - $15 (one bottle of redline fluid)
Transmission flush - $170 (parts from Tischer and fluid from Amazon)
Drive Belt with new belt tensioner and idler pulley - $110

At 75K I'll do the transfer case again since the fluid was pitch black after 50K. Perhaps the water pump and thermostat too

I couldn't have asked for a better person to receive a response from. Thanks for the help -- this is perfect!

No problem...I also changed my brakes at around 50K. I ended up getting a set of 335 calipers, ECS rotors and Akebono pads

I think my brakes are nearing the need for replacement as well. Glad to hear you've kept up with the car after all these years!
