Here’s Why 2021 BMW X3 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your BMW X3 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your X3. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your X3, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2021 BMW X3 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your X3 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2021 BMW X3 problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW X3 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2021 BMW X3 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your X3'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 X3? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your X3 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your BMW X3 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty X3) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW X3 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 2021 BMW X3 running newer, longer. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 X3, 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2021 BMW X3.

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW X3 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.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your BMW X3's steering system with regular maintenance.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW X3? Check your car for pothole damage!
