The BMW Maintenance System has

been designed as a reliable means for

providing maximum driving and operat-

ing safety – and as cost effectively as

possible for you. Once again, with re-

spect to the previous version, mainte-

nance costs were able to be reduced

due to technical innovations.

Please keep in mind that regular main-

tenance is not only necessary for the

safety of your vehicle, but also plays

a significant role in maintaining its

resale value.

Service Interval Display

Advanced technology is employed to

calculate the optimal maintenance in-

tervals. These are then indicated in the

46cus018

Service Interval Display. While conven-

tional systems rely on distance traveled

alone to determine when service is due,

the BMW Maintenance System has for

years considered the actual conditions

under which the vehicle operates, be-

cause miles can be traveled in many

different ways:

From a maintenance point of view,

62,000 miles (100,000 km) of short-dis-

tance urban driving are not the same as

62,000 miles (100,000 km) of long-dis-

tance highway driving.

In response to this fact, the BMW Main-

tenance System monitors operating

conditions as the basis for determining

the optimum service intervals for your

individual vehicle. The BMW Mainte-

nance System includes the Engine Oil

Service and Inspections I and II.

Determining maintenance intervals ac-

cording to the actual use of the vehicle

covers every kind of operating situation.

Even those who drive very little – signif-

icantly less than 6,000 miles (10,000 km)

annually – should still have the engine oil

changed at least every 2 years because

engine oil deteriorates over time, re-

gardless of the amount of wear and tear

to which it has been subjected.

Service and Warranty Information

Booklet (US models)/Warranty and

Service Guide (Canadian models)

For additional information on mainte-

nance intervals and procedures, please

refer to the Service and Warranty Infor-

mation Booklet (US models) or to the

Warranty and Service Guide (Canadian

models).

As a precaution against rust, it is advis-

able to have the body checked for dam-

age from rocks or gravel at the same

time, depending upon operating condi-

tions.

Have your BMW center perform

maintenance and repair.

Your BMW center is always up-to-date

on the latest maintenance work and re-

pair techniques and equipped with the

required special tools. In addition,

checking parts known from experience

to be subject to wear is a permanent

part of the maintenance specifications.

Be sure that all maintenance work is

confirmed in the Service and Warranty

Information Booklet (US models) or the

Warranty and Service Guide (Canadian

models). These entries will constitute

your proof that the vehicle has received

regular maintenance. They are also

required for warranty claims.<
