1998 BMW 740iL Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your BMW 740iL and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 740iL could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 740iL maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1998 BMW 740iL!

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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 BMW 740iL problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 BMW 740iL for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 740iL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1998 BMW 740iL be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 740iL battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 740iL stranded. Your BMW 740iL won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 BMW 740iL engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 740iL. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 BMW 740iL? We can help with that, too!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. 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 might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

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.
