What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1991 BMW M3?

What to Know About 1991 BMW M3 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your BMW M3 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your M3 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 M3, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1991 BMW M3 maintenance schedule!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your M3 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 BMW M3 problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your BMW M3

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 BMW M3 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your M3’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 BMW M3? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your M3 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW M3 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 M3 stranded. Your BMW M3 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 prevent premature wear on your 1991 BMW M3 engine. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 M3, check out the information table at the beginning 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1991 BMW M3.

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW M3 can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate BMW M3 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW M3's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended BMW M3 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW M3? 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 use high mileage oil in my BMW M3? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your BMW M3? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my BMW? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW M3 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.
