BMW 5 Series regular maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; checking the brake system for leaks and whether the brake pads are within the specified thickness; inspecting the engine belt for wear and adjusting the belt tension if necessary; examining the transmission, drive shaft, and universal joint protective covers for oil leaks and damage; checking tire tread depth, tire pressure, and tire wear, and performing a wheel alignment if necessary. Below is an introduction to the BMW 5 Series maintenance cycle and precautions. BMW 5 Series maintenance cycle: It is recommended to perform a routine maintenance every 10,000 kilometers for the BMW 5 Series. Before reaching 60,000 kilometers, the maintenance mainly alternates between oil and filter changes and the replacement of the three filters (oil, fuel, and air). A comprehensive fluid replacement is concentrated at the 60,000-kilometer mark. BMW 5 Series maintenance precautions: Avoid running the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage, as the exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless toxic gas; avoid sucking on fuel pipes with your mouth, as gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic; avoid contact with carburetor cleaner, as most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, all of which are toxic to some extent.
