BMW MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR YOUR EV
There are several benefits to owning an electric vehicle. For one, you need less maintenance and especially its internal combustion engines require minimal maintenance. Because BMW's electric vehicles operate on high-performance batteries, no oil changes or engine lubrication is necessary. With fewer parts that wear out, maintenance tends to be lower over the lifespan of the car. Apart from eliminating your fears over oil levels, for instance, EVs like the iX and i4 service schedules as other top-end luxury cars, including:
• Pollen and Air Filter: Every 20,000 miles or 2 years
• Brake Fluid: Every 20,000 miles or 2 years
• Battery Coolant: Lifetime change whenever replaced
• Tire Rotation: Check and rotate every 10,000 miles or 1 year
