I have the dealer change my oil every 10k and I plan on changing the trans fluid at 150 or 200k miles. The BMW dealer in Austin Tx seems fairly reasonable for oil changes and offers 20% off if you go on Saturday. I've also looked at going to the dealer in San Antonio but they tend to give out several different prices and can be twice as high.
330i Maintenance Schedule. Thinking about moving up into a 330i with around 50-60k miles. I was wondering what service should be done around this mileage, or in its near future, such as timing belt/chain or water pump, ect? Any input would be appreciated. Just trying to gauge what I might be getting into.

And second being the difficulty level of the job of removing the manifold.This BMW 3 series 1.8 engine oil type is 5W-30 and oil capacity is 4.25 litres. BMW 316i has classical rear wheel drive (RWD) and manual gearbox with 5 gears. BMW 316i accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 11 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 206 km/h.

That’s not just my opinion, it’s also BMW’s opinion. The only Mobil 1 oil that’s ever been on the approved oil list WAS 0W-40. Mobil changed this oil so it’s no longer on the approved oil list.
