Z4M Fluids Maintenance Meet (WTF am I thinking?!??!)

tominizer · 07-11-2017, 10:32 AM

This just popped into my head. Not entirely sure I'm thinking straight, but here it is. I need to change all my fluids on this M-roadster I own. I have never done it on this car. I have looked it up online for how-to's etc. I think it's fairly straight forward for the tranny, diff, engine oil. Brake/clutch I'm a bit worried about as that's new territory for me.

Has anyone ever done a Maintenance Meet at someone's house to do something like this ???? I was thinking having a bunch of Z4M guys around that may have a lot more experience with this car may be helpful for me to get this all done and not FAK it all up somehow. And others may learn a thing or two as well.....maybe?!?! I know that sounds actually really selfish now that I type it out as it all benefits me, but I will throw this out there too. I have a two car garage and more than happy to host others that may need to do the same sort of maintenance. I have all the tools I believe and jack stands and ramps, etc from my E30 M3 days. Just bring your own fluids and filters or whatever.

Do it like on a Saturday or Sunday morning....... I live 5 minutes from Canada's Wonderland location wise.

I also understand the safety concerns working under cars. This will not be taken lightly as if we do this, I want everyone going home safely. No ghetto-ness risky business will be allowed.

Thoughts ?!?!??!

I'm not due for any fluid changes yet but I'm up for hanging out and giving and/or receiving any tips on fluid maintenance..

I'm always down for swapping fluids.
