825i maintenance schedule questions

he 825i service is based upon hours or time whichever comes first.

Is everyone following this routine? I would replace the air filter based upon inspection and usually based upon driving conditions.



Annually, the net is:
1. fuel filter
2. air filter
3. spark plugs
4. Oil/filter - if this were a car, I would do it every 6 months unless using synthetic. For air cooled OPE, I do it annually - never get more than 20 hrs on them.
5. grease
6. Clean drive clutch - I looked at the tech ref manual and nothing unique on how to clean it. It is just a belt
