Maintenance
BMW Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System contributes
towards upholding the roadworthiness and
operating reliability of your BMW. It also covers
comfort and convenience aspects, such as
ensuring that filters for the air in the car's inte-
rior are renewed in good time. Its purpose is to
optimise maintenance measures with a view to
minimising the cost of looking after your car.
If and when you come to sell your BMW, a com-
prehensive record of servicing will prove a sig-
nificant benefit.
Condition Based Service CBS
Sensors and advanced algorithms take account
of the varying conditions in which your BMW is
used. Condition Based Service uses these to
determine current and future servicing require-
ments. The system provides you with an oppor-
tunity to tailor the scope of maintenance work
to your personal standards, so that your BMW
will always be reliably operational.
On the control display, you can have the
remaining distances and times for selected
maintenance tasks as well as any legally pre-
scribed dates displayed to you individually, see
page 76:
> Engine oil
> Brakes, separately for front and rear
> Microfilter
> Diesel particulate filter
*
> Brake fluid
> Spark plugs
> Vehicle check
> Statutory vehicle inspections, depending
on national requirements
Service data in the remote control
Your vehicle continuously saves service-
requirement information in the remote control
while you are driving. Your BMW Service Advi-
sor can read out these data from the remote
control, and will propose an optimised mainte-
nance approach on this basis. Please therefore
hand the BMW Service Advisor the remote con-
trol that you last used to drive the car whenever
you take it in for servicing.
Periods during which the battery was dis-
connected are disregarded by the CBS
maintenance system. You should therefore
have all items requiring time-based mainte-
nance, such as brake fluid, and possibly also the
engine oil, microfilter and activated charcoal fil-
ter, brought up to date by BMW Service.<
Service Booklet
Further information on the maintenance rou-
tines required is provided in the Service Book-
let.
BMW recommends that you have mainte-
nance and repair work carried out by
BMW Service.
Make sure that maintenance work is confirmed
in the Service Booklet after it has been carried
out. These entries are evidence that your BMW
has been serviced regularly and correctly.<
