When it comes to your BMW 535i xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 535i xDrive could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 535i xDrive, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 535i xDrive running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 BMW 535i xDrive problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your BMW 535i xDrive

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 BMW 535i xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 535i xDrive's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 BMW 535i xDrive. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 535i xDrive battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 535i xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 BMW 535i xDrive engine. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2012 535i xDrive in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 BMW 535i xDrive? We can help with that, too!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your BMW 535i xDrive's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine BMW 535i xDrive maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
