What to Know About 2018 BMW M3 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your BMW M3 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your M3 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your M3, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2018 BMW M3!

BMW knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your M3 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2018 BMW M3 problems later.

Overview of Essential BMW M3 Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 BMW M3 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 2018 BMW M3? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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 M3) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW M3 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2018 BMW M3 running newer, longer. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 2018 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2018 BMW M3? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your BMW M3 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform BMW M3 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

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 M3 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your BMW M3 radiator in need of replacement?

2018 BMW M3 Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2018 BMW M3. Get answers to common BMW M3 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have BMW M3 alignment checked? 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? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older BMW M3 engines.
  • Can BMW dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your BMW M3 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
