2015 BMW 550i GT Maintenance

You want your BMW 550i GT to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 550i GT could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 550i GT maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2015 BMW 550i GT!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 550i GT running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2015 BMW 550i GT problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2015 BMW 550i GT and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 550i GT. 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.

Could your 2015 BMW 550i GT be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 550i GT battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2015 BMW 550i GT running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2015 550i GT. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2015 BMW 550i GT.
