So minor, they are asking $19,700.
2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
As for other fluids, I’d change the coolant(BMW) and brake fluid(DOT4) every two years The AT, TC, and final drives should have a drain and fill at 60k. The TC should have the adaptations reset when the fluid is changed. North of 60k miles expect the motor to need an oil filter housing gasket and/or a
valve cover gasket.
FCP Euro and the BMW Mini Parts Store are my go-to online parts sources.
I'd check and see if his local dealer and/or indies offer a BMW CCA discount. Even if they don't he should probably join as you get rebates on new and CPO BMWs and access to a tech advisor and ombudsman.
He might also want to check out the British magazine Total BMW as it usually offers useful technical and DIY info.

Thanks for the response, I’ll pass your info onto him.
Do you think an oil analysis is good to do if for nothing else other than it would give him a baseline for the engine at mileage the car had when he bought it?
Thanks again.

I thought a genius is a smart person. I guess there are exceptions regardless of where you work. He probably won’t be there the next time you drop in.

Also, I'd be happy to answer any other questions he may have.

It wouldn't hut to have an analysis done. If he doesn't change the oil himself he will need to have the shop collect a sample as there's no dipstick where a vacuum pump would work.

Thanks for getting back to me about the oil analysis. That’s my thinking also.
I guess my son is running out of things to do. I don’t know how that’s possible given he’s in the midst of working on his flip and a few rentals he’s acquired lately. But, he’s planning on doing an oil/filter change this weekend if the car arrives as scheduled on Thursday or Friday. He’s already ordered the BMW approved oil and even plugs. I don’t think he’s going to change plugs right away but he wants them for when he has even more time on his hands. Pretty sure he’s going to have Blackstone Labs do the oil analysis.
It must be nice to be young and energetic like that. I don’t even want to think about what’s for dinner tonight.

My get up and go has got up and went.
Now I understand.
I had to cancel it in my name first. I didn't remember but, evidently it's a subscription. Now they are trying to refund me $9.39. If I knew (remembered) that I would have just given him my password.

That reminds me of the story I heard years ago when I was in my 40’s about a senior citizen you said, “you know you’re old when you bend down to tie your shoes and you ask yourself…is there anything else I can do while I’m down here”? I hate to admit it but I’ve come close a couple times.

No rust is a good thing. Ask @oldfarmer50. Not to worry, they probably got that car out of the flood waters before it had a chance to rust. Unfortunately electricity travels faster than that. Again not to worry, it could have all new fuses just like a new car.

My son discovered that the buyer… or at least someone in the household… started a ticktock for the Gloria I sold them. Really useless stuff thus far. Some of it disparaging racist commentary. I’m very disappointed.

Not much content there at all. They could have at least talked about the car.

Yeah they probably data mine your device but so does every other app and website. If they want to see what I’m searching have at it.

One of my co-workers gave me a good laugh today when he told me that I'm on the "never-ending quest" like Don Quioxte of "Man Of La Mancha" fame. He was referring to my never-ending search for a newer vehicle which we both had a big laugh about. We had just delivered a few vehicles to an Enterprise Sales office and I saw a Mini Cooper Countryman on the lot, so of course, I went over to check it out. But we both just fell out when he mentioned me and the never-ending quest because it's so true. And speaking Of Mini Cooper's, we were at the dealer yesterday and I found a couple of nice looking Countryman S's, one was an all cooper color which really caught my eye. Just popped in that cooper color. Also saw a white roof and side view mirrors over a light gray combo which also looked pretty cool. Didn't bother to ask about their Admn. Fees because I'm betting they still have them. Even this location is starting to get more inventory in so maybe they're more flexible now on waiving these crazy extra fees.
After being in the rental car business these past ten years, have found it really is the perfect retiree gig if one wants to make some extra income. Like the few of y'all that just got laid off, I as also in the same boat back in October of 2010. Fired due to my being on a limited duty status, but in my case, they lied about the situation to justify their actions. It's terribly unfair what y'all are going through so I do understand. Unfortunately, I went into a deep depression a few months later but I think the mental anguish on top of the intense physical pain I was going through landed me in such a bad state. I know you guys will bounce back very quickly & land on your feet...G-d has closed a door so to speak but will open a window when the time is right. I pray that everything will work out in a very positive way sooner than later!

I got the Ford email today stating that my Maverick hybrid order is scheduled for production. They say it will be built the week of March 6. Guess I won the hybrid lottery!
