Hey all, just picked up a clean 2021 X5M with all packages except the comp that has 49k miles. For those interested, I got it private party for $58k.

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction about what should be done maintenance-wise for this generation.

I found a previous generation post that gave amazing info, and I am looking for something very similar for this generation as well.

Post I am referencing: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1907320

I want to jump right into doing what needs to be done for the 50-60k miles range. The previous owner did oil changes at the 7-8k mile interval, and oil was changed again about 20 miles ago.

It appears that the upper oil pan seal is leaking, but I could not find a "kit" from FCPOEuro for it. I know that both oil pan seals should be replaced at the same time, as you take both apart to get to the top one. Any suggestions for parts or walk-through instructions?

Saem, thing goes for all other maintenance items. Please reference links, etc., if you can. Thank you in advance!

Good idea to do both diffs and transfer case - drain and fill. Same for transmission. And drop the oil changes down to every 5k. Combine that with the occasional air filter and you should be good for a long time. Congrats on the new car! Sounds like a good deal.
