2012 BMW 535i Scheduled Maintenance

You want your BMW 535i to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 535i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 535i, 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!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 535i's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2012 BMW 535i problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 BMW 535i and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 535i. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2012 BMW 535i 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 535i battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 535i stranded. Your BMW 535i 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 help your 2012 BMW 535i's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 535i. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 BMW 535i.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 535i maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Is your BMW 535i radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
