You want your BMW 535i GT xDrive to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 535i GT xDrive could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 535i GT xDrive maintenance. Just follow your 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive maintenance schedule!

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 535i GT xDrive's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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 535i GT xDrive's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 BMW 535i GT 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 535i GT 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 535i GT xDrive stranded. Your BMW 535i GT xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive running newer, longer.
