I recently went to the dealer to purchase and have installed a new battery. It was recommended to have an intake induction service. It should be done at 30k. I'm at 50k. I called around to other shops that specialize in foreign vehicles. I was told the service is just a mark up. I don't really need it on a 2008 528xi. What do you think? Should I go ahead and service my car or can I wait a little longer?
What dealer is this?

The only "intake" service I can imagine is changing an air filter, or cleaning the throttle body? Did they also suggest lubing the muffler bearings?Originally Posted by ncorley
Fixed.
And don't forget the blinker fluid every 2 years.

^^^^ What Steven said. Direct injection motors (1/3/535s) we are finding to be another story. Your engine is just fine.
