BMW Maintenance Schedule Paul@B ? 2011 BMW330 Maintaining your BMW is essential to ensuring that you’ll be driving it through 100,000 miles and past 200,000 miles. These days with the advent of BMW’s Free Scheduled Maintenance, BMW will replace your brakes, change your oil, and take care of your car until the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires. Due to this change in how BMW handles maintenance, the recommended maintenance schedule by BMW has also changed. Many fluids have become “lifetime,” which is defined as 100,000 miles, which is cleverly after the warranty expires. Prior to the advent of BMW Free Scheduled Maintenance, BMW recommended manual gearbox and differential oil changes every 30,000 miles, annual brake fluid changes, and coolant changes every two years. Air filter and fuel filters were typically replaced every 30,000 miles on most BMWs during routine inspections. Now I will admit that with new advances in synthetic lubricants, BMWs can now safely go past the 3,000 mile oil change milestone that existed many years ago, but I don’t know of any oil that can last 100,000 miles without breaking down and causing wear. It is for that reason that this document exists to help you determine the right schedule to maintain your car as good or better than the day you bought it. You can choose the reason why BMW adjusted their maintenance recommendations, but one thing is for sure, I won’t be following it. This is an alternative to the BMW recommended maintenance schedule you can get from the dealership. I will also warn you that many of these items are based on my opinion and experience and you will always find others with differing opinions. One of the most highly debated topics is what the best oil is for your BMW. Please take this information and use it to come up with your own schedule that fits your needs. If you feel that it is too excessive, then tailor it to your needs. I also can’t promise that if you follow this that you won’t be stranded
