Could your 2021 BMW 540i xDrive be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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 540i xDrive battery.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 540i xDrive stranded. Your BMW 540i xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
