The 2016 BMW M: Battery boost
The 2016 BMW M and battery service: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your M and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
The steps
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. 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.
A car meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Make a request
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
