Is it necessary to go to a 4S store for BMW's first maintenance?
1 Answers
It is recommended to go to a 4S store for maintenance during the vehicle warranty period. BMW maintenance parts are generally not available outside, and there are usually no problems during the warranty period. If the maintenance personnel suggest replacing parts, you can decide whether to replace them yourself. Non-critical parts do not need to be replaced. Generally, BMW new cars require their first maintenance at 10,000 kilometers or 12 months. Below are specific details about BMW maintenance: 1. Replacement intervals: The maintenance cycle for all BMW models is 10,000 kilometers. Engine oil and oil filters must be replaced during each maintenance. Air filters, cabin air filters, and fuel filters are recommended to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are recommended to be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years. 2. Notes: Additionally, the transmissions and power steering systems of all BMW models are designed for lifetime maintenance-free, so there is no need to replace transmission oil or power steering fluid. During the break-in period, since the gears of the engine, transmission, etc., have not yet fully broken in smoothly, it is generally advised not to drive too fast—absolutely do not exceed 100 km/h, and it is best not to exceed 80 km/h.
