2 Answers
BMW 320li maintenance items (replacement cycle in parentheses): 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement (10,000 km): Improves oil quality, ensures smoother power delivery, and extends engine life; enhances the ability to filter impurities and debris. 2. Fuel filter (30,000 km): Removes impurities and moisture from fuel, allowing the engine to perform at its best. 3. Spark plugs (Platinum: 60,000 km; Iridium: 80,000 km): Prevents ignition difficulties and ensures the engine does not suffer from power loss. 4. Brake fluid (40,000 km): Absorbs moisture from the air, improves braking performance, and ensures driving safety. 5. Brake pads (should not be less than 3mm): Prolonged use can cause severe wear on brake pads, reducing braking effectiveness. Replacing brake pads ensures stable handling performance. 6. Air and cabin air filters (30,000 km): Improves the quality of intake air, allowing the air distribution system to function efficiently; enhances air quality by filtering dust and unpleasant odors. 7. Comprehensive vehicle inspection: A thorough check of the vehicle to ensure safe driving.
I've been driving a BMW 320Li for over two years and have gained some experience in maintenance. For basic maintenance, changing the engine oil and oil filter is a must every time, and using fully synthetic oil makes it smoother. The air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, as they directly affect the freshness of the air inside the car. Brake fluid should be changed every two years—never exceed this period, as safety comes first. Spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers; you'll feel a stronger acceleration afterward. For tire maintenance, remember to rotate them regularly—swapping the front and rear tires every 20,000 kilometers on average can extend their lifespan. Transmission fluid should be replaced during the major maintenance at 60,000 kilometers—don't hesitate to spend the money. Wiper blades should be replaced annually for clearer visibility, and winter antifreeze should be checked on schedule. Small components like chassis bushings wear out over time, so remember to inspect them to avoid annoying noises.
