    N55 f33 2014 435i 35k miles preventative maintenance suggestions

    Heya! Picked up this car. It's recently had a rocker cover gasket, filter housing gasket and cooler housing gasket replaced. We might be looking at doing the rocker cover as well (there's a slight burning oil smell after hard drives and we're not sure yet if that's residual oil after that recent work or an ongoing problem. TBD soon). there's also a minor leak in a sump gasket which I might just get addressed.

    it's at 60k kms (35k miles for you freedom unit folks!)

    some internet says top 5 problems are:
    Valve Cover Oil Leak
    Water Pump Failure
    Leaking Oil Filter Housing Gasket
    VANOS Solenoid Failure
    High Pressure Fuel Pump Failure (HPFP) – Mostly older models

    so some have been ticked off already! Any suggestions for some 7 year 35k mile preventative maintenance items? Especially if work is being done around the sump gasket and rocker cover. But other usual items too?

    Sorry I see these are common requests. I have searched for info here and not found much (or been buried with too many results).

    has some good info, tho it mostly talks about 100k miles. I wonder if this has had those 3 gaskets replaced for what was "a pretty heavy oil leak", and it already has a minor leak in a sump gasket, if there might be other 100k mile items that should be preventatively checked out already too.
