2009 BMW 128i Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 128i, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your 128i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves.

Bring your 2009 BMW 128i to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 128i. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.
