Maintenance for Your 2021 BMW X1

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2021 BMW X1?

Here’s Why 2021 BMW X1 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your BMW X1 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your X1 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your X1, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2021 BMW X1 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your X1 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2021 BMW X1 problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your BMW X1

Bring your 2021 BMW X1 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your X1's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2021 BMW X1? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your X1 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW X1 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty X1) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW X1 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 prevent premature wear on your 2021 BMW X1 engine. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 X1, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2021 BMW X1.

Routine upkeep for your BMW X1 suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide BMW X1 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your BMW X1's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended BMW X1 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. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your BMW X1’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.

2021 BMW X1 Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2021 BMW X1. Get answers to common BMW X1 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW X1? You know your BMW X1 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 does my BMW X1 need 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 X1 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 X1 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
