Change oil every 6K miles
Change Differential Fluid every 30K miles
Replace the following every 30K miles: Water Pump, Thermostat, Thermostat Housing, AC Belt, Alternator Belt, and Idler Pulley
Change Radiator coolant every 50K miles
Replace Radiator and Expansion Tank at 90K
Replace Timing Chain Tensioner at 100K miles
Change Brake Fluid every two years |
Agree with all of this except for the water pump and belt intervals, 30K miles is a bit premature IMO. If it's never had a water pump before and/or you can't confirm it, I'd replace it, thermostat, and drive belts and invest in an aluminum water pump pulley when you do (~$30).
good luck with the car, the E46 platform is one of the best BMW ever produced.
