Don’t forget about tire rotations! Every 10,000 to 12,000 km is a good rule. This helps ensure even tire wear and prolongs tire life, crucial for handling.

I’ve noticed that the G21’s oil tends to get dirty faster than other models. Regular checks can save you from bigger issues later down the road!

How often should I be inspecting the air filters? I’ve heard differing opinions, and I want to get it right. I want my G21 to breathe easy!

Typically, check them every 15,000 km or during major services. Clean air filters can improve efficiency and performance of your BMW.

More like, it’s an investment! I laugh because my friend drives a cheaper model, but spends more on repairs than I do on maintenance. Keep up with it!
