i just went thru the owners manual and i didnt see it. I just bought an 06 JCW and it has 73k miles. what all should i address at this point. wanted to know how often everything gets address..keep in mind this is my first mini...so i know my duramax just fine but this i have no idea. SO at 75k what all would you change or address?

On the long standing advice of my main wrench, independent shop, here is the schedule I follow like clockwork. If you watch the clock, whenever it hits a 0 or a 5 followed by 3 zeros, it's easy to remember when to do something. This is one way to do it and everybody has their own standards, it's a place to start and I guarantee you'll get further feedback.

Oil and filter every 5K
Rotate tires every 5K
Brake Fluid every 20K
Coolant every 30K
PCV vent valve every 30K
PS Fluid flush every 30K
lugs every 40K
Serpentine belt every 40K
Fuel Filter Change every 50K
BG-44K every 6 mo.

Your question made me look. Somewhere the 'P' for plugs disappeared. I've never found it necessary to replace the lugs on a scheduled basis.
