2000 BMW 740i Maintenance

Take care of your BMW 740i and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 740i could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 740i, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2000 BMW 740i!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 740i running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2000 BMW 740i problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 BMW 740i 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 740i. 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 2000 BMW 740i 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 740i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 740i 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 740i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 740i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2000 BMW 740i engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2000 740i. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2000 BMW 740i.
