When it comes to your BMW 335i xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 335i xDrive could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem.

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 335i xDrive running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 BMW 335i xDrive problems later.

Bring your 2012 BMW 335i xDrive 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 335i xDrive’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2012 BMW 335i xDrive be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 335i xDrive 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 335i xDrive stranded. Your BMW 335i xDrive could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
