Maintenance
The BMW Maintenance
System
The BMW Maintenance System is designed
to uphold the roadworthiness and oper-
ating reliability of your car. It also covers
comfort and convenience aspects, such as
ensuring that filters for the air in the car's
interior are renewed in good time. Its
purpose is to optimise maintenance meas-
ures with a view to minimising the cost of
looking after your car.
IfandwhenyoucometosellyourBMW,a
comprehensive record of servicing will
prove a significant benefit.
Condition Based Service (CBS)
CBS is a new development which takes the
place of the Service Interval indicator.
Sensors and advanced algorithms take
account of the varying conditions in which
your vehicle is used with even greater
accuracy.
The remaining service life of selected items
requiring routine maintenance and immi-
nent statutory inspections are now brought
to your attention individually:
>
Engine oil
>
Brakes separately for front and rear
>
Micro-filter/activated charcoal filter
>
Brake fluid
>
Coolant
>
Spark plugs
>
Vehicle check
>
Statutory inspections
CBS determines the current and future
maintenance requirements in this way.
Your BMW Service Advisor can also read
out these data from the car key, and
propose an optimised maintenance
approach on this basis.
Condition based service provides you with
an opportunity to tailor the scope of main-
tenance work to your personal standards,
so that your car will always be reliably oper-
ational.

cator, see page 77.
