What happens if I skip Inspection II?
My 1998 M3 is due for Inspection II. I don't feel like shelling out $700. It had inspection 1 done 10k miles ago. Do I really need them to tear everything apart again? I will get the oil changed, but other than that, I'd rather wait a while.
Any ideas what happens? |

Heck, what's inspection II anyway? Visual inspection of the engine, coolant system, undercarriage, exhaust, joins along the driveshaft, change tranny and diff fluid, flush brakes, load test battery, check the rotors and brake pads and... what am I missing? I'm going to have to start learning this stuf... aranoid:

Vely innnnteresting.
My archivist friend, do you have a site that tells what's in an inspection depending on the year? I don't think I believe in lifetime fluids, m'self...

I found out that I don't need it for another 10k miles. At that point, I'll be out of warranty, and will likely do most of the work myself.
