2008 BMW 128i Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your BMW 128i and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 128i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 128i, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 BMW 128i!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 128i's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 BMW 128i problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 BMW 128i and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 128i's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2008 BMW 128i be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 128i battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your BMW 128i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 BMW 128i engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2008 128i. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 BMW 128i.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your BMW 128i's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 128i maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
