1) Coolant (I don't "flush" at 30k, just empty and refill... I'll wait until 60k to flush it myself)
2) Plugs (that was truly easy)
3) Pads (actually, mine were fine... and as far as the brake fluid replacement - ARE THEY CRAZY????? IF IT DOESN'T LEAK, SAVE THAT NONESENSE FOR 100k!!!)
4) Cabin filter (once I figure out how to remove the glove box... no rush)
5) Rotation (the ONLY thing that actually cost me labor... my wheels were seized and NO amount of foolishness would break them, so I had the dealer do it for $30 while they were doing some warranty stuff)
Everything else is just visual checks. My only labor cost was the tire rotation. People really have to try to do this stuff themselves IF they want to save money. Everybody seems so concerned about dealer rates, which I find remarkable given the fact they're buying a luxury car! WHAT THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT?!!!
Invest in some tools and get some grease in your nails. At least you'll know whether it was done right or not!
