Crucial Service Requirement of BMW in Bridgewater
Engine Oil & Filter Change
High-end cars like BMW use high-performance synthetic oil, which needs regular replacement to maintain optimal engine functioning. In most BMW models, you must change the engine oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever is earlier. The regular oil change ensures proper lubrication, reduces engine wear, and prevents the build-up of sludge and debris. Along with the engine oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. Contact us at Motor Cars International, located around Bridgewater, to get your oil and filter changed.
Spark Plug Replacement
The spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in your BMW, and you should replace them every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the model of BMW you are driving and the type of engine it comes equipped with. Moreover, malfunctioning spark plugs can cause problems such as engine misfires, poor fuel economy, rough idling, and poor acceleration. You can contact us at Motor Cars International, located near Bridgewater, to get your spark plugs replaced as soon as possible.
Air Suspension System Diagnostics
Some specific BMW models have an adaptive air suspension system that provides outstanding comfort but requires regular checks. The system has compressors, height sensors, and airbags that can encounter issues over time. If you encounter uneven ride height, suspension error messages, or a noisy compressor, the air suspension needs a diagnostic check. Contact us at our garage in the Bridgewater neighborhood to get your air suspension diagnosed and fixed.
Signs Your BMW Needs Immediate Fix
Rough Idling or Vibrations
If your BMW shakes during idling, it is caused by misfiring cylinders, bad spark plugs, or fuel system problems that need fixing immediately.
Oil Leaks
If you encounter puddles of oil or spots under the vehicle, it signifies an oil leak from the valve cover, oil filter housing, or oil pan gasket, which are common in BMWs.
Unusual Noises When Driving
Getting to hear clunking, grinding, or whining noises signifies underlying suspension, wheel bearings, or drivetrain issues that need to be fixed quickly.
Electrical Glitches or Dashboard Flickering
Flashing lights, failing infotainment, or bad sensors point towards a failing battery, malfunctioning alternator, or short circuits in your BMW.
Soft Brake Pedal
If the brake pedal in your BMW feels soft or you encounter an illuminated brake warning light, your brake system needs the attention of a certified mechanic immediately.
