1996 BMW 328is Maintenance Schedule

You want your BMW 328is to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 328is has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 328is, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 BMW 328is!

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, 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 328is running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1996 BMW 328is problems.

Bring your 1996 BMW 328is to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 328is’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1996 BMW 328is be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 328is battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 328is stranded. Your BMW 328is won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1996 BMW 328is's engine run smoother. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 328is, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1996 BMW 328is.

Maintaining your BMW 328is steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate BMW 328is steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your BMW 328is's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended BMW 328is services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
