Maintaining Your BMW X4 M40I in Wilkes-Barre, PA

Boasting 355 horsepower and 343 lb-ft of torque, your BMW X4 M40i is one of the most power dense Sport Activity Vehicles (SAV) available today. Fully updated since it was first introduced in 2015, it has been refined to provide a powerful, useful and stylish package that is so good looking it thinks it's a sports sedan instead of a Sport Utility Vehicle. Think of it as "Honey, I shrunk the X6M!"

As slick as this SAV is, you would think it could take care of itself. But the truth is that it does need to be properly maintained. That's where BMW comes in with their Condition-Based Service system. Using sensors and algorithms, the system monitors your driving style and determines, based on engine load and other stressors when it's time to change your oil, brakes, filters and so on.

BMW has compiled a menu of scheduled services that will help to keep your BMW X4 M40i performing at the top of its game. The professional service mechanics at BMW of Wyoming Valley are factory-certified to know your BMW X4 M40i inside and out. Why would anyone settle for less?

The system works but sometimes your BMW of Wyoming Valley X4 M40i needs certain assists. For example, the system alerts for certain tasks but can't tell that your X4 M40i is out of alignment. But your expert technicians at BMW of Wyoming Valley can! But how would you know?

Have you noticed while driving down the interstate your X4 M40i feels as though it wants to drift to the left or the right? That means it's a prime candidate for a front wheel alignment. Perhaps it was that pothole that had your name all over it. No matter but the result of running through it caused the vehicle to fall out. That's where our service technicians take over. Stop in for a checkup today.


These are all reasons why you must remain vigilant for components not monitored by the CBS system. For example: Tire rotation. Your tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles or so, on your X4 M40i, to provide equal wear at all four corners of the vehicle. During the rotation service, your Wyoming Valley service mechanics will perform a multi-point inspection, topping off all your vehicle's fluids. Before your mechanic wraps up, they will make sure that all the service campaign and recall notices have been completed.

After approximately 10,000 gently-driven miles or when your CBS alert is visible on the dashboard, your mechanic will change the oil and filter- if such a service hasn't been completed recently. A check and adjustment of the suspension, brake pads, rotors, steering system and an integrity check of the cooling system are also on tap. The service department will wrap it all up with a multi-point inspection and topping off of all your X4 M40i's vital fluids.

At around 15,000 miles or so, it will be time for your second oil change. Toss in a tire rotation for good measure (and equal wear) along with a full inspection of your BMW's critical components, and you should be good to go until your next mileage interval as based on the CBS system. This will again include a topping off of the fluids and other items vital to your BMW X4 M40i's operation. Follow this service schedule, and your BMW X4 M40i will continue to run like the Ultimate Driving Machine that it is.

At approximately 30,000 miles, it's time to swap the fuel filters which help prevent impurities from entering the fuel lines. Otherwise, expect more of the same with a scheduled oil filter, tire rotation and perhaps a change of brake pads at the same time. Regardless of what the CBS system reports, the brake fluid should be changed at 30,000 for the first interval, followed by 60,000 mile intervals thereafter. Finally, your BMW mechanic will recommend replacement of the Fuel Filter at the same time. This is to prevent dust and debris from entering the engine.

Take the long way.

From behind the wheel of your BMW X4 M40i from BMW of Wyoming Valley, every road feels like a race track. As a result, you'll likely choose to take the long way home rather than your direct route.
