Protect Your Investment with BMW EV Maintenance

Driving a BMW electric vehicle is an exhilarating experience. Making the change from a gas-powered vehicle to a fully-electric BMW is significant, especially when you realize your new EV will never need an oil change or transmission service. However, your BMW does have a manufacturer’s recommended EV maintenance schedule that includes tire rotations, filter services, brake pad checks, and multi-point inspections.

While BMW EVs have fewer moving parts than gas-powered models, they need routine inspections and maintenance on wear-and-tear parts and the electric powertrain components. The certified technicians at BMW of Tampa in Tampa, Florida have the skills and tools to inspect, maintain, and repair your high-tech BMW fully-electric vehicle.

Routine Service at BMW of Tampa

Your fully-electric BMW will need routine maintenance like fluid flushes, air filter replacements, and brake service. The innovative lineup of electric vehicles like the BMW i4 M50 and BMW iX xDRIVE50 have cooling systems and brake systems similar to those in ICE vehicles, so they need cooling fluid and brake fluid checks and flushes at regular intervals.

Your routine services will also include checking the components like the charging port, EV battery, and electric motor. The BMW of Tampa service advisors can help you arrange your service visits to fit the BMW recommended service intervals.

Your BMW EV has a regenerative braking system that improves your battery range. Therefore, it is important to have the brakes and tires routinely inspected. If your brakes begin to squeak or grind, we recommend bringing your EV in for service.

Simple Maintenance Tips for EV Drivers

Basic EV maintenance includes several easy tips for drivers. To extend your EV battery life, BMW recommends keeping it charged between 20% and 80%. If possible, park your EV in the shade, especially when the temperatures soar and the sun is shining. You can keep your battery pack cool by running the air conditioning when driving.

Additional maintenance tips include replacing items when they show signs of wear. You’ll stay safe by replacing your windshield wipers when they start to leave streaks and remember to refill your windshield wiper fluid before the tank empties.
