2018 BMW 530i xDrive Maintenance

You want your BMW 530i xDrive to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 530i xDrive. 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. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2018 530i xDrive. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2018 BMW 530i xDrive.

Routine upkeep for your BMW 530i xDrive suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate BMW 530i xDrive steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW 530i xDrive's steering and suspension system.

Without routine BMW 530i xDrive maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
