2003 BMW 745i Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW 745i, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. 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. 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.

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.
