The 2016 BMW M: Car battery replacement
Your 2016 BMW M needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Before the shop sees your M
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
From request to repair
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions first?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request car battery replacement
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.
