BMWs have unique systems in their models which require specialized equipment and knowledge to service. Each model is kitted out differently, but they all cater to the best driving experience for owners. BMWs also stand out as an immediately-recognizable style, which sets them apart from other cars on the road. Whether it is the distinguishable round headlights or their sporty appearance, the brand has earned their reputation as a reliable carmaker with a model to suit each driver’s passions.
Roadsters, sedans, SUVs, and hybrids all require different care. There are standard systems that require routine maintenance, such as oil changes, suspension repair, and clutch services, but new technology needs constant updating. If your rear camera is no longer working or you have concerns about your emergency braking assist, lane change warning, or parking assistance, we are here to inspect and repair any issue with your driver’s assist devices.
Oil leaks are one of the most reported issues for BMW vehicles. Leaks occur from broken or cracked parts, such as valves, seals, or gaskets. These components, which serve as the primary covering, are made of plastic or rubber. Over time, these materials lose their elasticity due to constant exposure to heat and cold, which can lead to leaks. Oil leaks cause low oil levels, which prompts increased friction in the engine, ultimately causing overheat and engine damage. Oil puddles under the car, loud grinding noise from the engine, and engine overheating are the signs of oil leaks. These signs should not be ignored as they could cause severe engine failure in the future. Come by our auto shop, Bavarian Performance Specialists, to do a complete oil leak diagnosis and repair service for your German model in Thousand Oaks.
It is BMW’s own variable valve lift system that increases fuel efficiency and performance by regulating the fluid flow into the engine. Due to Wear and tear, oil contamination, sensor failure, or electrical problems, this system exhibits malfunctions such as faulty accelerators, eccentric shaft sensors, or oil leaks. Repairing these components is very costly; thus, preventive maintenance at Bavarian Performance Specialists will ensure your Valvetronic system stays in its optimal state.
The cooling system in your car primarily relies on the water pump, which works with the radiator to regulate the temperature of your engine. Failure here, such as leaks and damages, halts the cooling system. Due to this, the engine starts to overheat and poses the threat of complete engine seizure. Repair of leakage, replacement of components, and timely service at Bavarian Performance Specialists can resolve this coolant issue in no time at Thousand Oaks.
BMW features an automatic transmission system that ensures one of the smoothest rides you can find. Transmission malfunction, such as solenoid damage or transmission fluid leaks, could cause rough shifting, delayed shifting, gear slipping, or sometimes complete transmission malfunction. Regular tranmsmission services could prevent these types of issues from happening.
The fuel system comprises a high-pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors that work together to spray the fuel into the combustion chamber with small droplets to intermix with oxygen to create combustion. Modern BMWs with direct injection fuel systems often face the issue of carbon buildup, which clogs up the entry, disrupting the fuel flow into the engine and causing the performance of the vehicle to decline. A walnut wash and a pump replacement at the BPS workshop will rectify the fuel system issue of your BMW around Thousand Oaks.

The cost of maintenance always depends on the model of your vehicle. However, BMW vehicles are expensive to maintain in comparison to their counterparts, due to complex engineering and expensive parts and components.
Generally, BMW brake pads should be changed between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. However, depending upon your driving habits, this number could vary, and the CBS in your vehicle will notify you about it when the time comes.
CBS or condition-based service is BMW's intelligent maintenance system that monitors oil, brake pads, and other internal components to notify you when service is needed based on your driving habits.
