The BMW Maintenance System has

been designed as a reliable means of

providing maximum driving and operat-

ing safety – and as cost-effectively as

possible for you. With respect to the

previous version, maintenance costs

can clearly 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 the resale

value of the vehicle.

Service Interval Display

Advanced technology is employed to

calculate the optimal maintenance in-

tervals. These are then indicated in the

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 that the vehicle operates, be-

cause miles can be traveled in many

different manners:

From the point of view of maintenance,

62,000 miles (100,000 km) accumulated

in short-distance urban driving are not

the equivalent of the same distance

covered at moderate speeds in long-

distance highway travel.

The BMW Maintenance System in-

cludes the Engine Oil Service and

Inspections I and II.

Determining the maintenance intervals

according to the actual loads on the car

covers every kind of operating situation.

Minimal use drivers – those who drive

significantly less than 6,000 miles

(10,000 km) per year – should neverthe-

less have the oil changed at least every

two years, since engine oil ages regard-

less of the load.

Booklet (Canadian models)

Please refer to the Service and War-

ranty Information Booklet (US models)

or Warranty and Service Guide Booklet

(Canadian models) for additional infor-

mation on maintenance intervals and

procedures.

As a precaution against rust, it might be

a good idea to have the body checked

for damage from rocks or gravel at the

same time, depending upon operating

conditions.

Have your BMW center do the

maintenance and repair.

Your BMW center is always informed on

the latest maintenance work and repair

techniques and equipped with the re-

quired special tools. In addition, check-

ing 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 or the Warranty and

Service Guide Booklet (Canadian mod-

els). These entries are your proof that

the vehicle has received regular mainte-

nance. They are also a prerequisite for

warranty claims.<
