What to Know About 1994 BMW 740iL Scheduled Maintenance

You want your BMW 740iL to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 740iL. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 740iL maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1994 BMW 740iL maintenance schedule!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 740iL running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1994 BMW 740iL problems.

Overview of Essential BMW 740iL Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1994 BMW 740iL 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 740iL. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 BMW 740iL? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 740iL battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 740iL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 740iL won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1994 BMW 740iL 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 1994 740iL. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1994 BMW 740iL? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW 740iL can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide BMW 740iL steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your BMW 740iL's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 740iL 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 740iL cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your BMW 740iL radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.

Take an active role in maintaining your 1994 BMW 740iL. Get answers to common BMW 740iL maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW 740iL? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my BMW 740iL? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older BMW 740iL engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my BMW? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your BMW 740iL, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
