When it comes to your BMW 528i xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance.

There's no need to guess when it's time to get 528i xDrive maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong.

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 528i xDrive's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2014 BMW 528i xDrive problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2014 BMW 528i xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 528i xDrive’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2014 BMW 528i 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty 528i xDrive) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 528i xDrive could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
