Your Guide to 2019 BMW 540i Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your BMW 540i and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 540i. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 540i maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2019 BMW 540i!

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. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 540i's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2019 BMW 540i problems in the future.

Overview of Essential BMW 540i Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2019 BMW 540i for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 540i. 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 2019 BMW 540i. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 540i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 540i battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 540i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2019 BMW 540i'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 2019 540i. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2019 BMW 540i? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW 540i can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate BMW 540i steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW 540i's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 540i maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire BMW 540i cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your BMW 540i? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2019 BMW 540i maintenance and repairs.

2019 BMW 540i Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2019 BMW 540i. Get answers to common BMW 540i maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my BMW 540i? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my BMW 540i to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older BMW 540i engines.
  •  Why are my BMW dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW 540i in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
