BMW FACTORY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.
Whether your BMW is newly out of warranty or approaching 100,000 miles (or 200,000 or 300,000 miles), following BMW factory scheduled maintenance is key to helping keep your BMW running safely and reliably for many years to come.
Your BMW requires factory scheduled maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. At BMW of Roxbury, we specialize in performing all manufacturer-recommended services, from routine oil changes and safety inspections to more comprehensive Inspection I and II services. Trust our expert technicians to keep your BMW running like new.
BMW scheduled services are grouped into three categories: Oil & Safety Service, Inspection I, and Inspection II. Recent BMWs will let you know when service is due, but regardless, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the maintenance schedule.
BMW OIL & SAFETY SERVICE
This service includes an oil change (with filter) and a safety check of your vehicle that includes crucial items such as brakes, indicator lights, rubber belts and hoses, engine coolant, steering linkage, and suspension components. Additionally, your technician will check for fluid leaks, check wipers and wiper fluid, check tire pressure, check the horn, and check the dashboard warning lights. The Service Interval System will let you know when it is time to change your oil, but a typical interval on a modern BMW will be 5,000 - 10,000 miles.
BMW INSPECTION I
The BMW Inspection 1, also known as the Minor Service, is the smaller service recommended by BMW. On 1986 - 1998 models, it is recommended at 20,000, 60,000, and 100,000 miles. On 1999 and later models, it is recommended at 30,000, 90,000, and 150,000 miles.
BMW Inspection II
The BMW Inspection 2, also known as the Major Service, is the larger service recommended by BMW. On 1986 - 1998 models, it is recommended at 40,000, 80,000, and 120,000 miles. On 1999 and later models, it is recommended at 60,000 and 120,000 miles.
Many BMW enthusiasts recommend adhering to the earlier maintenance schedule to increase the longevity of your vehicle, but this is a decision that can be made based on driving style, budget, and personal preference.
