Planned a weekend getaway with the family but decided to drive my car instead of my wife’s X3. Overall, it was a comfy drive down the Autobahn in Germany into Switzerland despite the rain coming down here. Sadly I changed my summer wheels last week but the car would have looked even better with my R3 rims. Maybe in the spring, I’ll go on another road trip.
So back in March I got a new to me 2024 g26. It had right at 44k miles and I’m about to hit 49k. I’m about to do my first oil change on it myself. I’ve got a liqui moly change kit on the way.
Right now I’m trying to figure out the best way to get it up. It’s stock height but the front lip makes it a bit low so the harbor freight ramps I bought won’t allow it to roll up without the lip hitting first.
I also have some jack stands and the appropriate stand adapters.
The car is stock other than an intake I put on, and some changes I’ve done with bimmercode. It had a new water pump installed under warranty not too too long ago because they had noticed it was leaking.
I’ve not had any problems with the car knock on wood and plan to do most of the stuff myself.
So what process do I need to do to reset my oil / maintenance stuff in idrive8? Is there anything else I need to change or update in the system when I do the oil change?
I’m nearing 50k miles. Are there other maintenance items I should be starting to look at or need to do at this time??
I also purchase a cabin filter as my air when it turns on is not super fresh smelling. Any information would be great.
