You want your BMW 540i xDrive to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 540i xDrive. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 540i xDrive, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2017 BMW 540i 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. 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 540i xDrive's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2017 BMW 540i xDrive problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 BMW 540i xDrive 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 540i xDrive. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 BMW 540i xDrive.

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 540i xDrive battery.
