Here’s Why 2012 BMW Z4 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your BMW Z4, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Z4. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Z4 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 BMW Z4!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Z4 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 BMW Z4 problems in the future.

Overview of Essential BMW Z4 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 BMW Z4 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Z4’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 BMW Z4. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Z4 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW Z4 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Z4 stranded. Your BMW Z4 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 BMW Z4 engine. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2012 Z4 in the chart at the top 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 BMW Z4.

Routine upkeep for your BMW Z4 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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, perform BMW Z4 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your BMW Z4's steering and suspension system.

Without routine BMW Z4 maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your BMW Z4 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your BMW Z4 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it.

  • When should I have BMW Z4 alignment checked? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2012 Z4 is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.
  • When does my BMW Z4 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 Z4 engines.
  •  Why are my BMW dashboard lights on? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should.
