2014 BMW i8 Maintenance

Take care of your BMW i8 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your i8 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your i8, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2014 BMW i8!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your i8 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2014 BMW i8 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 BMW i8 and our technicians will jump right in 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 i8. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2014 BMW i8. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 i8 battery. 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 i8) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW i8 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2014 BMW i8 engine. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2014 i8 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2014 BMW i8? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW i8's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended BMW i8 services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire BMW i8 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new BMW i8 radiator?
