Recommended Maintenance for Gas-Powered Cars

BMW engineers exceptional gas-powered cars, and each one has wear-and-tear components that need routine maintenance and care. Each BMW has a maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual with detailed service needs and intervals. Despite the small differences between models, powertrains, and years, most gas-powered BMW vehicles need similar annual maintenance.

To protect your BMW’s engine and related components, your BMW will need routine oil changes. Most new BMW vehicles need an oil change between 5,000 and 10,000 miles – or once or twice per year. If you have an older model, you’ll want an oil change every season or 3,000 miles.

Bi-annual maintenance includes:

• Inspecting the brakes and brake fluid.
• Checking the cabin air filter.
• Analyzing vital fluids.

Most cars benefit from a bi-annual tire rotation to extend the life of your BMW’s tires. Every 10,000 miles or once per year, your vehicle needs at least one oil change and new coolant. If you drive 20,000 miles in a year, you’ll need your fuel filters checked and replaced.

Caring For Your BMW EV

If you drive a BMW EV, you’ll have fewer maintenance needs. BMW electric vehicles do not have engine oil, so you’ll never need to stop in for oil changes. However, it’s important to bring your BMW in for checkups to ensure it’s running smoothly.

EV tires are often more expensive than tires for gas-powered cars. You can extend their lives by bringing your EV to our dealership for a tire rotation every 10,000 miles or once per year. Otherwise, your BMW EV needs new cabin filters, brake pad inspections, and wiper blade replacements every 20,000 miles or every other year.

Additional services for electric or gas-powered cars include wheel alignments and tire pressure checks as needed. Following the recommended maintenance is part of your vehicle’s limited warranty, and you can save money by investing in a BMW maintenance plan.
