Tips for Extending the Life of Your Pre-Owned BMW

Most drivers near Tampa, FL want their BMW cars to last as long as possible. You likely already know that you need regular BMW service to help your vehicle perform as well as it should, but regular service is also the best way to extend the life of your new or pre-owned BMW car.

Today, our certified BMW service mechanics are sharing the best ways to extend the life of your pre-owned BMW.  

Change Your Oil 

Oil lubricates and cools the tightly-packed parts inside of your BMW engine. Skipping regular oil changes can produce harmful sludge, reduced fuel-efficiency, and eventual engine failure. Check your model’s owner’s manual to find out your vehicle’s recommended oil change interval.  

Fluid Changes 

Engine oil isn’t the only vehicle fluid that needs to be changed and refilled. Other fluids that need attention include: 

• Transmission fluid 
• Radiator coolant 
• Brake fluid 
• Power steering fluid 

During your regular BMW maintenance appointments, our mechanics will ensure that your vehicle’s fluids are at proper levels.  

Tire Inspections 

Tires wear down gradually, and because they are in direct connection with the road at all times, they are critically important for keeping you safe. Our mechanics will check the tread and pressure of your tires to ensure that they’re in good shape.  

Use OEM BMW Parts 

When it comes time to replace your BMW parts, you’ll find that you can choose between OEM and aftermarket parts. At BMW of Wesley Chapel, we always recommend that our customers choose OEM parts, as they are higher quality and will likely last longer than aftermarket parts.
