Without proper service, you could decrease performance such as horsepower losses as well as have poor fuel economy.

If you were only to do one service, frequent oil changes are the most important to ensuring your BMW’s engine runs as it should, for many miles to come. Stay In Warranty Not having scheduled maintenance can void your warranty. If something were to go wrong with your vehicle, the manufacturer might not cover the expense, if the proper maintenance wasn’t performed. Prevent Expensive Repairs Taking care of smaller issues can prevent larger ones from occurring. Don’t take chances, have your vehicle looked at regularly to ensure any problems that may be happening are addressed and resolved quickly. Components of Routine Maintenance Oil Changes- Depending on what your manufacturer recommends. Also, follow these specifications to ensure the longevity of the engine. Consider using full synthetic oil for optimal performance. Tires- Rotate tires with every oil change. Don’t wait until tires are bald to replace them, and have them inspected at each visit to your automotive shop. Timing and Serpentine Belt- Every 40,000 to 60,000 miles these belts should be changed. A timing belt on an interference engine could spell disaster if it breaks, play it safe and have it replaced according to the BMW recommendations.

Replace these every 30,000 miles to ensure you are getting the best MPG for your BMW. For more information visit Ryan G. Motorworks at http://www.ryangmw.com/.
