E36 328i service info req'd please!

[Funk]

It's coming round to that time of year again and I'll be doing the following service items on the car but wondered if there's anything else I should be doing?

To be done:

• Oil change (6.5L 5w40 fully synthetic)
• Oil filter
• Air filter (although I may leave this as it was changed last year and the car's only done about 6k miles - I'll see how it looks)
• Cabin filter (I didn't change this last year)

What other stuff should I be changing this year? The car's on 162k miles.

Did those last year, probably ok for a while yet?

Edit: how often should the fuel filter be changed?

Brake fluid and fuel filter should probably be on the list then, coolant was changed when the rad was replaced about 18 months ago.

Cheers McSam. Pads were changed last year on the front and the rears the year before. As mentioned earlier I'm only doing around 6k a year at the moment so the pads should be fine for a while yet. I'll probably do discs and pads together next time. The brake fluid was changed 2 years ago and the pedal feel is fine and it stops well enough so I may take your advice on that one.

I'll see how it goes on the MOT and whether anything major comes up. The front shocks were done last year and the bushes were changed about 18 months back. Given the low (and if I'm honest) relatively gentle life it has I'm hoping the wear and tear is relatively mild.
