Here’s Why 1991 BMW 535i Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your BMW 535i and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your 535i could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when?

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 BMW 535i!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 535i perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 BMW 535i problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 BMW 535i for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 BMW 535i? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 535i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 535i battery. 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 535i stranded. Your BMW 535i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1991 BMW 535i engine.
