2010 BMW 550i Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your BMW 550i, 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 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 550i, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2010 BMW 550i!

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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 550i's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2010 BMW 550i problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 BMW 550i and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 550i'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 2010 BMW 550i. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 550i 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 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 550i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 550i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
