Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 BMW 525i!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 525i running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 BMW 525i problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 BMW 525i and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 525i's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1989 BMW 525i? 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. 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 525i 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty 525i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 525i won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
