Special Note
The maintenance requirements for your vehicle
are determined dynamically by the Condition
Based Service (CBS) system. The maintenance
items stated herein reflect the latest information
available at the time of the printing of this state-
ment, and are subject to change. The most cur-
rent maintenance recommendations are
available from your authorized BMW center.
The performance of certain subsequent mainte-
nance elements, as required by the BMW New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be specified at
intervals computed by the BMW Service Interval
Indicator as follows:
䉯 Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed
with the engine at operating temperature.
Note: Change oil at least once a year.
All 2008 model year 1 Series vehicles are facto-
ry-filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic
oils. At the time of the printing of this booklet,
the following oils are strongly recommended
and approved by BMW:
䉯 BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil
(BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
䉯 Mobil 1 10W-40 Synthetic
BMW recommends that you check your engine
oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If
you need to add oil between oil changes and
are unable to obtain BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil on
the list, use a synthetic oil with an API rating of
SH or higher.
The following maintenance elements must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time
intervals begin from the vehicles production
date):
䉯 Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every
two years, or when specified by CBS.
䉯 Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every
120,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel econ-
omy and minimize exhaust pollution. For the
128i SULEV (PZEV) models, the oxygen sen-
sor must be replaced every 150,000 miles.
The replacement of the oxygen sensor is
required under the terms of the applicable
BMW emission system warranties.
䉯 Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS).
Replace at the following intervals:
– 128i versions: 100,000 miles
– 135i versions: 45,000 miles
䉯 The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed except for sys-
tem repairs.
For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW center perform any necessary
operations to fulfill any state inspection require-
ments in your area concurrent with the mainte-
nance elements specified above during other
repairs. Should you request more frequent
maintenance service, the cost of these ser-
vices will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.
BMW has applied the most modern technologi-
cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion of your vehicle, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your BMW center
has made a substantial investment in unique
BMW special service tools to enable BMW fac-
tory trained service technicians to perform qual-
ity repairs on your BMW in minimal time. Your
service technician looks forward to serving your
every service need and to help maximize your
satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity, and
resale value.
