It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 BMW i3!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, and brake pad replacement. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your i3 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 BMW i3 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2016 BMW i3 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your i3's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2016 BMW i3? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW i3 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 i3 stranded. Your BMW i3 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
