At 10,000 miles:
When
your BMW M4 reaches its 10,000 mile service, it's time for another oil
and filter change. That means it's also time for a tire rotation, an
integrity check of the cooling system, a check of the steering system,
suspension components, brake rotors and pads, and a topping off of all
fluids that may have evaporated or been consumed. To make this service
complete, they will also make sure there are no outstanding service
campaigns or recall notices on your BMW vehicle.
Further on down the road…
After
going 5,000 miles further, you should be at approximately 15,000 miles.
That's time again for another tire rotation. The reason is to
constantly move the tires around from front to back in an effort to
allow them to wear equally from every corner of the vehicle.
Continue
with another rotation every 5,000 miles, at 20,000, 25,000 and so on.
All along the way, your BWM of Wyoming Valley mechanics will perform all
the appropriate checks for fluids, expendables, filters and more for
the various mileage counts in your BMW M4 Owner's Manual.
At
30,000 miles, you should have received an alert from the CBS system
telling that it's time for a change of your M4's synthetic oil, and oil
filter, along with another the tire rotation. At the same time the CBS
system has also been keeping track of the M4's brake pads and brake
wear, and will make you aware that it's time for a brake fluid change.Â
Regardless, the BMW M4 owner's manual suggests an initial change at the
30,000 mile mark and then every 60,000 miles afterwards. That same
manual suggests a change of the fuel filter to coincide with the 30,000
mark, as well.
At 60,000 miles, your BMW M4 is just getting
started. As was the case before, it's again time for an oil and filter
change. But this time, toss in another fuel filter, an in-cabin filter,
and an engine filter. It's also time for a steering and suspension
parts check, a tire rotation and more. At the very end, the service
mechanic will top off the fluids, perform a multi-point inspection and
once again, make sure there are no recall notices or outstanding service
campaigns.

Other Essential Services:
Wipe
out: Do you hear a squeaky noise coming from the windshield? Have you
noticed your wipers leaving a cloudy residue after a brief sprinkling?
These are all signs your wipers are being abused. We already know
windshield wipers get no respect from the weather, the heat or the
humidity.Â
The same with the brutal cold in winter. Wipers live in the
elements, which all conspire to shorten the life of the blades. That's
why we recommend a wiper change every six months. The Parts and Service
department at the BMW of Wyoming Valley will have the right-sized
factory-approved replacements that will have your M4 windshield spotless
in no time.
All-wheel-alignment, your mechanics at BMW of
Wyoming Valley will tell you, is one of the most important "fixes" you
can perform on your BMW M4 vehicle. It's a cost effective way to keep
your car heading towards its "true north," while at the same time
helping you to keep your tire expenses in check.
But how will you know
you are due for such a service? It's easy, really. If you find your car
drifting to the left or the right while heading down a straight piece of
highway, that's one sign. It's a prime examples of an M4 in need of an
all-wheel alignment.Â
The service experts at BMW of Wyoming Valley,
suggest having at least one alignment per year, as there are plenty of
road hazards and irregularities that can shift alignment away. May we
also suggest a tire rotation, first? It equalizes the tire wear at each
corner. Your BMW M4 owner's manual will have more information.
Speaking
of Tires: Tires get tired and don't last forever, especially when they
perhaps it's happen to live on a high-performance ride like the BMW M4.
Your hot rod deserves better than that. Maybe it's time for the Abe
Lincoln Penny test. And best of all, it only costs a penny.Â
By placing
"Honest Abe" head-first into the groove of the tire tread, you can see
if Honest Abe sinks in to his ears or more. If so, there is plenty of
tread. If you see a little bit of air above Abe's hairline, it's time to
get replacements. It's a line that we have made famous but as the
saying goes, "Bald is for eagles, most babies and some old men, but not
your tires." Our BMW Parts department has the replacement tires your M4
needs, all at competitive market prices.
