Inspection 2 service parts
Hi all,
In conjunction with a few other small jobs I need to do on the Z4, I am due to change the filters, oil and spark plugs. I may possible have a go at the brake fluid too but not just yet.
Being new to Z4 ownership I have read a few different things with regards to service parts. With this in mind can someone have a look at the attached parts and costs and let me know whether these are the parts I should be buying or are there better alternatives?
Also is the pricing about right or is there somewhere else I should be looking?
The car is a 2006 3.0si Auto
Thanks
Rob

Cabin filter is a good shout though

Save an extra fiver by ordering 6 x 1L containers instead of the 4L + 2 x 1L (Edit, fiver saved at pre-discount code price but there's still a saving doing it like that )

Also check you have the right oil,
I know some 5W-40 are LL04 spec but not all so worth checking its in spec when you pick it up, the oil ECP states isn't always correct.

Doesnt your car take 6.5 litres, in which case buy 2x4 litres and then you will have spare. Also I am sure on my last oil change I used Syntium 5000 AV which was recommended as fully synthetic. I would check that you aren't buying a lesser product.

That’s advisable to be fair regardless of the engine even though it’s not in the service schedule. You’ll struggle to do the valve clearances though haha
