BMW Service Intervals 

If you are not sure about the BMW service schedule for your vehicle, follow the recommendations listed below. 

Basic Oil and Safety Checks Every 10,000 Miles or Two Years

This will be the first time that your new BMW vehicle is brought to the service center for routine maintenance, and it serves as a good baseline for future maintenance. Because your vehicle is fairly new, it is not likely that it will require any additional maintenance unless you have done a lot of driving on rugged terrain. The purpose of this visit is mainly to check the condition of the oil and ensure the vehicle is still running as safely as possible. If necessary, changes are made to the oil, oil filter, windshield wipers and wiper fluid, and engine coolant.

What components are inspected as part of the safety check? Our BMW experts will look at the following: 

• Brakes
• Horn
• Steering linkage
• Suspension components
• Rubber belts and hoses
• Dashboard warning lights
• Indicator lights

Inspection 1 – Every 30,000 Miles

When your BMW reaches the 30,000-mile mark, it is time for a more extensive vehicle inspection. The same services performed above are once again repeated here in addition to inspections of other components. 

Under the vehicle, our experts will do the following: 

• Clean the brake pad contact points
• Inspect the front control arm and bushing
• Verify the engine temperature
• Check the brake disc surfaces

The tires and wheels will also be checked for wear and tear and to make sure the tread depth is even. Under the hood, our technicians will check the diagnostic system for errors. They will also make sure that the lights are functioning properly and take a look at the mirrors, defoggers, and the heating/air blowers. 

Inspection 2 – Every 60,000 Miles 

When your BMW hits that 60,000-mile mark, there are additional services needed as part of the BMW maintenance schedule. The parking brake lining will be inspected in addition to the flexible boots. Our technicians will also check for any rust according to the rust prevention warranty.
