What Is the BMW 3 Series Maintenance Schedule?

Like all BMW models, the 3 Series has a specific maintenance schedule that you should follow to ensure optimal performance. The intervals between required service appointments will vary depending on how you use your 3 Series. However, some general guidelines apply to all 3 Series models.

15,000-Mile Service

The first service appointment for a 3 Series should be around 15,000 miles. At this point, the brakes, tires, fluid levels, and filters will need to be checked and potentially replaced. We will also change the oil if needed. Your safety features will also be checked and calibrated.

30,000-Mile Service

If you drive your 3 Series 30,000 miles or less within a year, you will need to bring it in for service at around 30,000 miles. This appointment will include a check of the brakes, fluid levels, filters, and an oil change if necessary. We will also rotate the tires and the wheels aligned. If you need them changed, we will replace the filters.

60,000-Mile Service

You should bring in the 3 Series for service every 60,000 miles. At this point, the fluids in your car will need to be changed. Next, we will check the brakes and tires, and the filters will be replaced if necessary. Finally, we will give the vehicle a thorough inspection to ensure everything is in good condition. An assessment of your battery will also make sure it's working correctly.

90,000-Mile Service

If you drive your 3 Series more than 30,000 miles in a year, you will need to bring it in for service at around 90,000. This appointment will include a check of the brakes, fluid levels, filters, and an oil change if necessary. We will also rotate the tires and the wheels aligned. In addition, your timing belt, hoses, power steering fluid levels, and spark plugs will be inspected and changed accordingly.

It's important to closely follow your 3 Series maintenance schedule to keep your car running in top condition. Skipping appointments can lead to decreased performance and even more costly repairs.
