M35 100,000+ miles maintenance report

[bluedevil30]

I thought it might be helpful for people to share larger maintenance issues for M35s with over 100K miles.

I have a 2009 M35X with 120,000 miles. Since passing the 100K mark I have had the following issues:

- left rear wheel bearing replaced at dealer $500
- seized right rear break caliper - replaced both rears at tire store for $550
- around 100k had the radiator and trans flushed and fluids replaced at dealer
- passenger door doesn't lock on occasion from outside button. - haven't fixed.

Those are the only unusual major issues I have had in the car besides normal oil changes, air filters, brakes and tires which were never done at a dealer.

I got my 2007 M35x in May 2010 with 32kmi on the clock.

Since then I have done the following:

1) Driver seat track and computer replaced as soon as I got the car due to the memory function not working and seat moving upon braking (warranty - 35kmi or so)

2) Both front wheel bearings, passenger side hub and axle (warranty - might have been cause by me taking a jump with the car lol - 58kmi)

3) Bluetooth module replaced/relocated per TSB (warranty - 58kmi)

4) Fuel filler neck/valve replaced (warranty - 58kmi)

5) Steering rack was leaking/not tight and was replaced (warranty - 88kmi)

That's it. Otherwise, I've been replacing (the last 20kmi or so) the suspension components, doing exhaust now, etc. I have had no engine or transmission issues the entire time of owning the car. I don't even check the oil as I change it often enough that I'm not worried (every 5kmi regardless of how I used it).

Bottom line: this car has been ultra reliable

i have approx. 119k on my M, I drove it to new York at about 98k miles 2 summers ago. it was hot as hell the radiator blew a week or so after I got back. so I replaced the radiator, flushed the ATF fluid. The seat is off track and I will get that fixed shortly.

I got the belts changed and the recall done at about 106k miles.

My car is now 230k km - I had a leaking rack & pinion, some rust spots on my roof caused by highway chips, and had to fix both rear muffles due to rust.
Yeah it snows a lot here
