Bavarian Autosports discusses the reason the BMW "Life Time Fluids" should be changed in their Spring 2006 newsletters (you can access it on their web sight). Its basically to reduce the preventative maintenance cost of BMW ownership. The fluids really are not lifetime fluids in the 318 Ti according to Bav auto.
In he Winter 2008 newsletter they have a Table outlining their preventative maintenance recommendations for most BMW models. Most of the information in the table contrasts the Ti Owner's Manual for preventative maintenance.
Its all interesting but has left me a little confused too. |
