When Does My 2017 BMW 430i Radiator Need Service?

It can be tough to know when to have your BMW 430i radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for.

If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2017 BMW 430i is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, BMW recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
