What does BMW B Maintenance Include?
2 Answers
BMW B maintenance items are based on the maintenance manual. Maintenance: Maintenance is performed by professional repair companies, with the focus on inspection and adjustment, including tire disassembly and rotation. Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting daily maintenance can not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also endanger driving safety. For example, lack of lubricating oil can lead to cylinder scuffing and bearing failure, while malfunctioning vehicle components can result in traffic accidents. Performing daily tasks carefully and thoroughly not only keeps the vehicle in top condition but also helps monitor the technical status of various parts, preventing mechanical and traffic accidents. Daily maintenance generally includes: Replacing the fuel filter and air filter; checking clutch travel, lower arm ball joint clearance, tightness, and dust cover; inspecting tire tread depth, tire pressure, and wear condition, with wheel alignment if necessary; Checking whether the throttle and idle valve are excessively dirty and cleaning them if needed; inspecting spark plug condition and replacing if necessary, along with no-disassembly fuel injector cleaning; checking the condition of power steering, braking system, and automatic transmission.
The BMW B Service is quite comprehensive, focusing primarily on the regular maintenance of key components to ensure safe and smooth driving. It generally includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, as fresh oil keeps the engine performing at its best; the air filter is also typically replaced to help the engine breathe more freely. The braking system is inspected for wear on the brake pads and discs, which are replaced if they become too thin. Tires are rotated, and their pressure and wear balance are checked to avoid uneven wear. Various fluids, such as coolant and brake fluid, are checked and topped up. The lighting system, including headlights and taillights, undergoes a thorough inspection. The battery condition is tested to ensure trouble-free starts. Finally, a computer diagnostic scan is performed to read fault codes and prevent potential issues. It's recommended to perform this service every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers to extend the lifespan of your BMW. Personally, I've noticed a significant improvement in fuel efficiency and driving feel after the B Service, so don't skip it—get it done on time.
