2002 BMW 745i Maintenance Schedule

You want your BMW 745i to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 745i. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 745i maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2002 BMW 745i!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 745i perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2002 BMW 745i problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2002 BMW 745i for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 745i. 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 2002 BMW 745i? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 745i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 745i battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your BMW 745i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2002 BMW 745i engine.
