So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 530i xDrive, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 BMW 530i xDrive maintenance schedule!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 530i xDrive running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 BMW 530i xDrive problems in the future.
Bring your 2018 BMW 530i xDrive 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 530i xDrive’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Could your 2018 BMW 530i 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 530i 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 530i xDrive battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 530i xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2018 BMW 530i xDrive's engine run smoother.
