Take care of your BMW 525i and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 525i 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. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 525i maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1990 BMW 525i!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 525i running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1990 BMW 525i problems later.

Bring your 1990 BMW 525i 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 525i’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 BMW 525i. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 525i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your BMW 525i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
