The 2013 BMW M: Battery boost
For battery service on the 2013 BMW M, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Before the shop sees your M
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.4L 8-cylinder turbo. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. It runs the 4.4L 8-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car while yours is in the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Good habits for your car
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Over to you
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
