Bring your 2010 BMW M5 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 M5’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2010 BMW M5? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your M5 stranded. Your BMW M5 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

2010 BMW M5 Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2010 BMW M5. Get answers to common BMW M5 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have BMW M5 alignment checked? You know your BMW M5 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my BMW M5 to high mileage oil? 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 M5 engines.
  • Can BMW dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW M5 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.
