2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive Maintenance

Take care of your BMW 550i GT xDrive and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your 550i GT xDrive has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 550i GT xDrive maintenance. Just follow your 2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive maintenance schedule!

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 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 550i GT xDrive's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 550i GT xDrive's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 550i GT xDrive may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your BMW 550i GT xDrive 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 550i GT xDrive 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 2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive's engine run smoother. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2015 550i GT xDrive in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
