Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 BMW 745i!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 745i running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2003 BMW 745i problems later.

Overview of Essential BMW 745i Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 BMW 745i and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 745i's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2003 BMW 745i be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 745i may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 745i 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 745i stranded. Your BMW 745i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2003 BMW 745i engine. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2003 745i in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2003 BMW 745i? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW 745i can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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, provide the appropriate BMW 745i steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW 745i's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 745i maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire BMW 745i cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new BMW 745i radiator?

  • When should I have BMW 745i alignment checked? You know your BMW 745i better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my BMW 745i to high mileage oil? 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 745i engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my BMW? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW 745i in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
