2014 BMW 550i Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your BMW 550i and it'll take care of you. 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. 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 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2014 BMW 550i!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 550i running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2014 BMW 550i problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 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.

Could your 2014 BMW 550i 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). 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. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 550i stranded. Your BMW 550i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2014 BMW 550i's engine run smoother.
