Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 BMW 528i xDrive!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer.

Bring your 2012 BMW 528i xDrive to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 528i xDrive'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 2012 BMW 528i xDrive? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 528i xDrive may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 528i xDrive 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 528i xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
