BMW Factory Warranty Expiring Soon? Get A Pre-Expiration Check With Us!
You have a Beautiful, BMW and you’ve religiously taken it to the dealer for the routine, recommended scheduled maintenances, without fail. You thought that this ritual was designed to keep your car running for years and years, well beyond after the warranty period is over, right? Well, Unfortunately, I’ve got bad news for you. BMW designs its extended maintenance schedules to first, to make it attractive enough to sell you the car and second, to save them money while your automobile is under the warranty period. By advertising to the buying public that all repairs and maintenances are covered, for the entire four years or 50 thousand miles, at no cost, makes it very attractive to new BMW buyers.
So, What’s the Problem? You see, BMW stretches the oil service intervals ten to fifteen thousand miles, reducing their out of pocket maintenance costs during the in-warranty period. Recommended services used to be in the three to five thousand miles intervals, by getting on the synthetic oil technology tailcoat, pencil-pushers in the accounting headquarters were able to curtail costs by minimizing your maintenance trips to dealers, making claims that you don’t have to change your fluids in your transmission and other drivetrain components. They claim to use “lifetime fluids”.
Whose lifetime? The lifetime of your transmission, that is. Your BMW Transmission will last longer if you just change it’s fluid and filter every 50 thousand miles or so. As a matter of fact, one of the most common BMW transmission supplier (ZF), recommends the fluids to be changed, however, BMW opts not to. BMW would rather sell you a new transmission or guide you over to the “New Car” section for you to buy their latest model.
These extended scheduled services cause less frequent visits to the dealer or the shop of your choice, which may, in turn, lead to disregarding certain safety components such as brakes, suspension, and tires. A worn suspension system can accelerate tire wear and create an unsafe condition very quickly. Potholes and curb-damage are the main cause of your BMW’s alignment to be out of spec. in the Dallas area.
