Filters
Oil and engine air filters are no longer necessary, but other filters still require replacement. Your BMW electric vehicle will still need new cabin air and transmission filters.
Suspension
The weight of an electric vehicle can put additional strain on suspension components. Ensure to replace any worn shocks and struts, and maintain your BMW EV's suspension for optimal steering and handling.
Fluids
Say farewell to motor oil, but remember that your electric vehicle still requires fluid maintenance. Visit us when you need to replace battery coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, or transmission fluid.
Battery
Berkley EV owners should visit us for their annual battery inspection. We can replace any defective EV battery and handle battery cell module charging. Additionally, we offer maintenance for another crucial electrical component, the DC converter, which supplies power to your windows, mirrors, lights, BMW Curved Display, and iDrive Operating System.
Brakes
While regenerative braking can extend the lifespan of your braking system, regular brake maintenance remains essential. Ensure you get new brake pads, rotors, and other brake services to keep your BMW EV stopping safely.
Tires
Electric vehicles are heavier, which can affect tire wear rates. It's crucial to keep up with tire rotations, wheel alignments, and other tire maintenance for your BMW electric car or SUV. Consider rotating or balancing your tires every 5,000 miles to ensure even wear and replace tires when the tread reaches 2/32 inches.
How Is EV Service Different?
Electric vehicles have far fewer components than traditional gas vehicles. With fewer moving parts, the maintenance for EVs is minimal. Most new BMW EVs have regularly scheduled maintenance recommended every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Here is what you can expect from a typical appointment:
- Tire Rotation
- Brake Services
- Multi-Point Inspection
- Fluid Top Offs (coolant, windshield washer, and brake fluid)
The Benefits of EV Maintenance
Since EVs have far fewer maintenance requirements, they are less costly to own over time than regular gas vehicles. Not only are there fewer services, but the intervals between services are much longer. Traditional gas vehicles need an oil change, and other maintenance services an EV will never need are transmission, belts, spark plugs, and fuel systems. Gas vehicles usually need services every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on driving habits, the age of the vehicle, and the recommended schedule from the manufacturer.
