How often should a BMW be serviced?
2 Answers
BMWs should be serviced once a year or approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Car maintenance: Refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car upkeep. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. BMW maintenance cycle: The inspection cycle is between 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. For ease of calculation, a maintenance cycle of every 10,000 kilometers is used for price estimation. Consumers can perform maintenance every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, or follow the prompts from the onboard CBS system for maintenance. Both methods are eligible for warranty services.
I've been driving BMWs for years, and their maintenance cycle is typically every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. It depends on your driving habits; since I drive frequently, I go by mileage, but if you rarely drive, you should at least get it checked annually. Don't skip maintenance out of laziness, as things like aged engine oil or clogged filters can degrade engine performance and even lead to higher fuel consumption. When I service my car, I always refer to the manual and record each service date—this helps save money and avoid unexpected major repairs. Remember, a well-maintained car is safer and more reliable on highways or long trips—don't wait for warning lights to act. Caring for a car is like looking after your health; regular upkeep ensures longevity.
