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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 BMW 740Li. In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 740Li stranded. Your BMW 740Li could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
