ОР ОР! Full Service for Your BMW: complete work list, intervals, prices, and tips from our service team
Hello everyone! We are located at Holosiivska 9 in Kyiv. My name is Bohdan, and I’m going to tell you about the full comprehensive maintenance we performed on our BMW G30 project car. This car is being prepared as a replacement vehicle for our clients. Let’s go through each stage in detail.
Oil and filter change
This is the first thing that should be done during any maintenance. The oil lubricates all moving engine parts, reduces friction, prevents overheating, and removes combustion byproducts.
We offer two options:
Original oil from barrels — 600 UAH per liter.
Matul — a proven alternative, 500 UAH per liter.
The BMW G30 engine requires 6.5 liters of oil. We always replace the oil filter along with the oil.
It’s recommended to do this every 7–10 thousand km, even if the onboard computer shows a longer interval. This will extend engine life and prevent serious issues.
The air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the engine. A dirty filter affects throttle response, increases fuel consumption, and accelerates component wear.
Filter cost — 1600 UAH, labor included in the maintenance package.
We recommend replacing it every 15–20 thousand km, or more frequently in dusty or urban environments.
The cabin filter cleans the air entering the interior through the ventilation system. We recommend using a charcoal filter — it removes dust, gases, and odors better.
Cost — 1000 UAH, labor included.
Replace it every 10–15 thousand km or at least once a year.
Automatic transmission oil and filter change
An essential procedure for cars imported from the USA or with unknown service history. We replace the oil along with the oil pan, which has a built-in filter.
We install an original ZF pan and fill with 5.5 liters of transmission fluid.
Total cost with labor — 13,000 UAH.
Recommended every 60–80 thousand km.
Differential and transfer case oil replacement
A crucial step often neglected. Faulty transmission components can lead to costly repairs. We use Motul 75W90 oil.
Volume — 1.5–2 liters per unit, cost with labor and materials — 6000 UAH.
Recommended every 60–80 thousand km.
Spark plug replacement
Spark plugs ensure stable engine operation and fuel efficiency. Worn plugs cause misfires, power loss, and increased fuel consumption.
Replace every 60,000 km.
Labor cost — 700 UAH, price per spark plug — 600–1500 UAH depending on brand.
Brake fluid replacement
Brake fluid absorbs moisture, reducing its effectiveness. This can cause brake failure in critical situations.
Recommended every 2 years or 100,000 km.
Cost with bleeding — 1400 UAH.
Coolant and expansion tank cap replacement
Coolant loses its properties over time. If not replaced, it can lead to overheating or damage to the cooling system.
Recommended every 2 years.
Cost — 900 UAH, additional system flushing may be needed if the coolant is dirty.
Total cost of comprehensive maintenance
In our case — 38,200 UAH.
Diagnostics and detected issues
After maintenance, we ran a full diagnostic:
worn rear camber arm bushings
leaking transfer case mount
worn-out driveshaft flex disc
These parts were also replaced with quality aftermarket or OEM parts.
Summary: before buying a car or after long-term storage, we highly recommend full maintenance and diagnostics. It’ll help avoid future issues, saving your time and money. If you want to service your BMW — visit us at Holosiivska 9. We’ll be happy to help!
