2009 BMW 535i xDrive Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 535i xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 535i 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 535i xDrive, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 535i xDrive running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 BMW 535i xDrive problems in the future.

Bring your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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 535i xDrive’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 535i xDrive battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 535i xDrive) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 535i xDrive won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
