Your Guide to 2011 BMW 740i Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 740i, 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 740i 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 740i maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 BMW 740i!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 740i perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2011 BMW 740i problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW 740i Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 BMW 740i for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 BMW 740i. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 740i) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 740i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 BMW 740i 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 2011 740i. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2011 BMW 740i.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my BMW 740i? Check your car for pothole damage!

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older BMW 740i engines.
