    common problems when reaching 100k

    Hey guys, Im coming close to 100k. Are there any things that general go at this point in time that need to be replaced? Id like to know before anything brakes and messes more stuff up. Hoses? etc.....

    p.s.
    regardless of my username my car is a 325i :D
    90 325is
    IE stage 3s and refeshed m20....

    Between now and 120k alot of stuff is "sceduled" for failure. Just keep an eye and an ear open and pay attention to your car.

            haha,

            any specifics that i should be looking out for?
            i need to check out the recepts in my glove box for stuff already done. The idiot before me brought this car to the dealership pretty often and they've done alot of work to it.

              during my hellish 100-150k, i replaced a ton of parts, the repairs i did were... headgasket,afm,icv,fuel pump, muffler baffle came loose, muffler hangers, driveshaft replacement, center support bearing.

                to me 100k doesn't dictate that work should be performed as much as the mileage interval in between service, like:
                have you bleed the brakes once a year,
                was the t-belt changed at 60k,
                when was the last coolant flush,
                fuel filter changed at?

                Inspection of parts for wear is a good thing and as Jordan suggested keep your eyes and ears on notice,

                But senseless replacement is a bad thing save you cash, but be responsible.
