BMW's first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers, and the first maintenance is free (depending on road conditions and regions, dealers recommend the first maintenance to be performed at 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers). The maintenance precautions are as follows: 1. The maintenance cycle for all BMW models is 10,000 kilometers, and engine oil and oil filters must be replaced during each maintenance. Engine oil is a necessary lubricant for the engine, and each vehicle has different performance requirements for engine oil, so it should not be used randomly. 2. It is recommended to replace the air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers. 3. It is recommended to replace the spark plugs every 50,000 kilometers; brake fluid should be replaced every two years. 4. Transmission fluid is usually changed every 30,000 miles, and like engine oil, transmission fluid must also use a specific type. 5. BMW vehicles use DOT4 brake fluid, which has a high boiling point characteristic. Brake fluid will produce water vapor evaporation during use. It is recommended to replace the brake fluid every two years for BMW vehicles, but this depends on the vehicle's usage environment.

How to Repair Bumper Scratches?

For more severe scratches, generally the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some cars' wheel arch parts are made of engineering plastic, which won't rust. Whether to repaint or not depends on the owner's preference. You can gently apply toothpaste to minor scratches, then use a soft cotton cloth to wipe counterclockwise. This not only reduces the scratches but also prevents air from corroding the damaged paint.
