Evening Folks,
I will be putting the Z in for a service this month and was looking for a bit of input from you folks on my choices below and if there is anything you think I should consider.
Bit of history, 59 plate 23i manual, pauper spec, car is my daily driver and I've owned it coming up to 2 years now. Last year she had rear springs, pads all around, front disks, oil and filter change. Car is currently on 75k miles, plugs last done at 49k (6 years ago). BMW Dealership history is broken so not going there, local indy has not been good at all with my wifes E90 or my Z when I first got it so not going there. There is a very good local garage to me where it will be going and they will be happy with me specifying parts hence being here with a list!
Air Filter - MANN-FILTER Air Filter 30x232x240 (is this the correct measurements?)
Brake Fluid - Millers Universal Brake Fluid DOT 4
Cabin Filter - MANN-FILTER Cabin Filter
Gearbox Oil (preventative based on what I have read here) - Millers TRX SYNTH 75W80 GL5 / TRX SYNTH 75W90 (which one as I am bit unsure on this)
Oil - Castrol Engine Oil (Edge FST Engine Oil - 5W-30)
Oil Filter - MANN-FILTER Oil Filter
*Edit*
Engine Coolant flush and change. Any particular ones I should request or just BMW bog standard?
*Edit
I will also add that I am not mechanically minded in any way! I can top up the oil, change bulbs, wipers etc but that's about it. Please be gentle
