1993 BMW 318i Scheduled Maintenance

You want your BMW 318i to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 318i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

BMW knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 318i's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1993 BMW 318i problems later.

Bring your 1993 BMW 318i to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 318i's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1993 BMW 318i be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 318i 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 318i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 318i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1993 BMW 318i engine.
