Personal Maintenance Plan - CPO Vehicle (Fluids, Oil, etc)

Hi all!

I recently purchased a 2018 M2 that was CPO. The dealer did the break in service prior to my purchase of the car and now I have about 4k miles on it. I wanted to check here what fluids I should be filling/checking and what other preventative maintenance I can do on my own without going to a dealer.

I believe under CPO I do not have the same privileges as the standard warranty so I'd like to do as much as I can myself.

I know that for oil I should change at 10k/1yr (and I've changed oil myself on older BMWs so that's ok).

With that said, since I have CPO, how much does an annual car check-up cost and what do they do there? Do I need it or can I go about trying to do most of the common things myself?

I wanted to check here what else I should be looking for/can do myself as I start to put more miles on the car. Thank you in advance, I'm new to the forum so any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

if you're in the US then you can transfer the maintenance for $100. It'll transfer the remainder of the 3 year maintenance. It's cheaper than an oil change from BMW.

I do not think $100 is correct. I was quoted $700 by 2 dealerships to transfer service out of the previous owners name to mine.
