If you're searching for the 2014 BMW 4 Series service schedule, regular maintenance is essential for keeping your BMW reliable, efficient and safe. The exact service requirements depend on the engine, mileage, gearbox and vehicle history.
At Bimmer Garage Nottingham, we specialise in BMW servicing and maintenance, including the 4 Series.
What Is the BMW 4 Series Service Schedule?
The 2014 BMW 4 Series uses BMW's Condition Based Service (CBS) system. Rather than relying solely on a fixed service interval, the vehicle monitors factors such as mileage, time and driving conditions to determine when certain maintenance is due.
The dashboard service indicator can show when an oil service, vehicle check or other maintenance item is required.
Common 2014 BMW 4 Series Service Items
Depending on the engine and service history, maintenance can include:
- Engine oil and oil filter
- Cabin/microfilter
- Air filter
- Fuel filter on applicable diesel models
- Spark plugs on petrol models
- Brake fluid
- Vehicle inspection
- Brake inspection
- Diagnostic checks
The exact schedule should be confirmed against the vehicle's engine and CBS service history.
BMW 4 Series Oil Service
Regular engine oil and filter changes are particularly important on turbocharged BMW engines.
During an oil service, a technician can:
- Drain the old engine oil
- Replace the oil filter
- Refill with the correct BMW-approved oil
- Check fluid levels
- Inspect for leaks
- Reset the service indicator
BMW 4 Series Diesel Service
If your 2014 4 Series is a diesel, additional attention may be required for the emissions system.
Depending on the engine, technicians may inspect:
- DPF
- EGR system
- Turbocharger
- Intake system
- Glow plugs
- Fuel system
Frequent short journeys can be particularly demanding on diesel emissions systems.
BMW 4 Series Petrol Service
Petrol models have different maintenance requirements. Depending on the engine and mileage, servicing may include:
- Engine oil and filter
- Spark plugs
- Cabin filter
- Air filter
- Brake fluid
- Vehicle inspection
Spark plug replacement intervals depend on the particular engine and BMW service schedule.
BMW 4 Series Gearbox Service
The service requirements also depend on whether your 4 Series has a manual or automatic transmission.
A gearbox inspection may include checking:
- Transmission operation
- Fluid condition
- Leaks
- Gear selection
- Diagnostic fault codes
Where a gearbox service is recommended, the correct fluid and procedure should be used for the specific transmission.
What Else Should Be Checked on a 2014 BMW 4 Series?
Because a 2014 vehicle is now over a decade old, servicing should also include checking components that can wear with age and mileage.
These may include:
- Brake discs and pads
- Suspension bushes
- Shock absorbers
- Control arms
- Clutch and dual-mass flywheel on manual models
- Battery
- Cooling system
- Belts and pulleys
- Turbocharger
- DPF and EGR system on diesel models
A service is a good opportunity to identify these problems before they become more serious.
