2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 550i GT xDrive, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 550i GT xDrive has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 550i GT xDrive maintenance. Just follow your 2017 BMW 550i GT 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 550i GT xDrive perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive problems in the future.

Bring your 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 550i GT xDrive stranded. Your BMW 550i GT xDrive could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
