2011 BMW 128i Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your BMW 128i and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 128i. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 128i maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 128i perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 BMW 128i problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 BMW 128i for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 128i’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2011 BMW 128i be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 128i may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 128i battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 128i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 128i won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2011 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 2011 128i. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2011 BMW 128i? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your BMW 128i suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform BMW 128i suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your BMW 128i's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine BMW 128i maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire BMW 128i cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your BMW 128i? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2011 BMW 128i maintenance.
