Recommended Maintenance Schedule

At Hendrick BMW Certified Pre-Owned South Charlotte, we understand that maintaining your vehicle is key to optimal performance and longevity. While maintenance intervals can vary slightly depending on your specific model, we've curated a general guideline to assist you:

 
• Every 10,000 Miles: Perform essential tasks such as replacing the engine oil, oil filter, and coolant-ensuring your BMW runs smoothly and efficiently.
 
• Every 20,000 Miles: Inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel filters to maintain engine efficiency and performance.
 
• Every 30,000 Miles:
   
  • Replace the brake fluid and ensure your braking system is operating to the highest safety standards (following the first replacement, this is required every 60,000 miles).
   
  • For manual-transmission BMWs, replace the transmission fluid to preserve the smooth operation of your vehicle.
 
• Every 60,000 Miles:
   
  • Replace the engine air filter and spark plugs, elements crucial for maintaining engine health.
   
  • Conduct thorough inspections and replacements of brake pads and rotors as needed.
   
  • For automatic-transmission BMWs, change the transmission fluid to sustain flawless gear shifting.
 
• Every 90,000 Miles: Replace timing belts and hoses, critical components for the integrity of your engine's performance.

Beyond 90,000 miles, continue with regular 5,000-mile maintenance checks and repeat the aforementioned service intervals to keep your BMW at peak condition. Please note, while there's no specific maintenance required at 50,000 miles, it's a significant milestone as your Limited Warranty expires at this juncture. Ensure any covered repairs are addressed, and consider replacing your battery, as it may be nearing the end of its life cycle. Visit our service center to ensure your BMW receives top-tier care from our certified professionals.
