2012 BMW 328i xDrive Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 328i xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 328i xDrive. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 328i xDrive maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2012 BMW 328i xDrive maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 328i xDrive running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 BMW 328i xDrive problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 BMW 328i xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 328i xDrive's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 BMW 328i xDrive 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 328i xDrive may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 328i xDrive battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 328i xDrive stranded. Your BMW 328i xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
