Common BMW Repairs

Your BMW is beautifully made, but what are some repairs to be aware of? What things do we keep an eye on at ArborMotion so your BMW runs as long as possible?

Standard Maintenance

All vehicles need standard maintenance. Broadly speaking, this includes your oil changes, brakes, all your fluids, spark plugs and coils, and battery. Every time you bring your BMW into ArborMotion, we do a multi-point inspection, and compare your current mileage to the BMW recommended schedule for your year, make and model.

 

Oil System

A common concern for some BMWs (less-so in newer models, thankfully) is leaking oil. There are a few components within the oil system, like the valve cover gasket and the fuel pump, that can become problematic. You may notice puddling of oil under your vehicle, or even a “low oil” light on the dashboard. When we do our multi-point inspection, we’re checking the health of these potential trouble areas. This is one of the reasons it’s so important to bring your BMW in for regular service with ArborMotion!

 

Cooling System

Your engine cooling system is arguably one of the most important components to your BMW. Even with all the advancements BMW has made with technology, these systems don’t run forever. Eventually, you may notice an overheating warning light or a high temperature on your temperature gauge. If this happens, call ArborMotion right away so we can get to the heart of the issue and get you back on the road as quickly as possible!

Things to Remember About Autumn Driving

Are you and your vehicle ready for cooler weather, leaves, and longer evenings? It’s in your best interest to have necessary seasonal maintenance done before the winter cold creeps in.

• Schedule your oil change! We talk a lot about oil changes at ArborMotion, and for good reason. Your engine oil is one of the most important components inside your vehicle. If your oil is dirty or low, it can cause problems that turn into catastrophes if left unchecked. 
• Schedule your tire swap if you use seasonal tires. Keep an eye on the weather predictions, and schedule your appointment accordingly. Winter tires are meant for cold temperatures and snowy and slushy conditions. Schedule your appointment for days 45 degrees or higher, or when mother nature is predicting snow in the forecast.
• General maintenance is a good idea! Your manufacturer has a schedule of recommended maintenance at specific mile-intervals. General maintenance is important to keep up with to ensure your vehicle will perform at its peak for years to come. 
• Check your emergency kit! Make sure your backup battery is charged, that you have a fresh bottle of water stored, and snacks are fresh and still edible. As the weather gets chilly, make sure you also have a blanket, a small shovel, and either sand or some grip-pads just in case you need to get yourself out of a slippery situation.
• Get a brake inspection if you’re uncertain of the health of your brakes. If you’re hearing any noises, or feeling any “squish” when applying the brakes, an inspection is a necessity. Brakes get an extra workout during the winter, so be sure your brakes are in proper working order.  Learn more about your brakes here.
