You want your BMW 745Li to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 745Li could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 2003 BMW 745Li maintenance schedule!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 745Li perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2003 BMW 745Li problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW 745Li Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 BMW 745Li and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 745Li. 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 2003 BMW 745Li? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 745Li may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 745Li battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 745Li stranded. Your BMW 745Li 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2003 BMW 745Li running newer, longer. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2003 745Li in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2003 BMW 745Li.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
