It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 BMW 535i GT xDrive!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 BMW 535i GT xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Could your 2012 BMW 535i GT xDrive be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate.

Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 535i GT xDrive stranded. Your BMW 535i GT xDrive won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
