Scheduled Maintenance for Your 1997 BMW 750iL

How often should I service my 1997 BMW 750iL?

Here’s Why 1997 BMW 750iL Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your BMW 750iL to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 750iL. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 750iL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1997 BMW 750iL maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 750iL perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1997 BMW 750iL problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW 750iL Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1997 BMW 750iL to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 750iL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1997 BMW 750iL be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 750iL may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 750iL battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 750iL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW 750iL 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 1997 BMW 750iL running newer, longer. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 750iL, check out the information table at the beginning 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1997 BMW 750iL.

Maintaining your BMW 750iL steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform BMW 750iL suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your BMW 750iL's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW 750iL 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your BMW 750iL engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new BMW 750iL radiator? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1997 BMW 750iL maintenance and repairs.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW 750iL? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my BMW 750iL to high mileage oil? If your BMW 750iL has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  •  Why are my BMW dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW 750iL 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.
