X1 35i Maintenance

[Aro321]

Group,

I really just need some guidance to the thread that probably already exists.

I just picked up a 2014 X1 with 100k miles and want to tackle the maintenance.

I'm planning on
- Water pump/thermostat/ coolant
- Control Arms
- Transfer case fluid
- Trans fluid

I need to know if there are other important areas of focus on this chassis that needs attention.
ie: bushings, suspension, engine mounts

I have the n55 and I'm already very familiar with what the engine will need but want to get the chassis right and protect what I've got.

Any direction or experience the group can lay on me is appreciated! Thanks

Here is a list what I've done so far recently that may be relevant.

I would also add a new belt, tensioner, and idle pulley to this list unless already replaced.
Battery is likely to be still factory, worth checking if it holds charge well.
Full computer diagnostic of course to check for any errors in sensors.

Around 80k you could start looking at your motor mounts. They are liquid filled and can start leaking.

I have seen a few N55 guys report issues with their radiator leaking.

Of course, BMW is famous for chronic issues with the cooling system in general, so watch for any leaks and be proactive in replacing cracked hoses.
