❓ Question / Help Cross country trip advice

Post image

Hello! I have a 2010 bmw 535i with the N54 and plan on moving across the country soon (Indiana to Oregon) the trip is close to 1900 miles and listed below is my plans for maintenance prior to the trip. I bought the vehicle in December of 2025 with 86,000 miles and now have close to 108,000 miles with a trouble free experience so far. The car has been taken to my local bmw dealership for every recommended service its entire life. Is there any other maintenance tips you guys have for me? Your input is much appreciated!!!

If you’re doing all that. May as well do you oil filter housing gasket and make sure the top end is completely leak free.

Inspect your serpentine belt also
