2001 BMW M5 Maintenance

You want your BMW M5 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your M5 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your M5 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 BMW M5 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2001 BMW M5 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 M5’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 BMW M5? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty M5) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW M5 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2001 BMW M5 running newer, longer.
