1994 BMW 318is Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 318is, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your 318is could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 318is maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1994 BMW 318is!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 318is's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1994 BMW 318is problems later.

Bring your 1994 BMW 318is 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 318is's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1994 BMW 318is be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your BMW 318is 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 318is stranded. Your BMW 318is could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
