When it comes to your BMW 740i, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 740i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when?

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 BMW 740i!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 2012 BMW 740i problems.

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

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 BMW 740i and our technicians will jump right in with 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 2012 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. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 740i stranded. Your BMW 740i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2012 BMW 740i's engine run smoother. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 740i, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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 2012 BMW 740i.

Maintaining your BMW 740i steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform BMW 740i suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your BMW 740i's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 740i maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire BMW 740i cooling, heating, and climate control system.
